Running a Sim

It is vital that you have already practiced and are confident ‘Controlling an Avatar’ before you run a Sim with a student

Load the sim on your laptop

On your laptop, run the JoinXR application and then:

On the Select User screen, click on your profile
On the Select Meeting screen select the Drop-in you created during the setup
Select “Open” in the top right menu
Open the HEE XR Sims folder
Select the XR Sim you wish to run i.e Stacey Single
Familiarise yourself with the Mouse Controls etc
Setup your Headphones and audio

Load the sim on the HTC Focus

On the Focus (or Quest2 or Hololens2) run JoinXR
On the Select User screen, click on your profile
On the Select Meeting screen select the Drop-in you created during the setup
Wait for the Sim to download

Run the sim!

Check that your student has signed the epilepsy and data gathering waivers.
With your student sitting comfortably, give them the headset to put on, with the JoinXR sim already loaded and running.
Give them either the Right Hand or Left Hand controller, as appropriate
If you are in the same room as your student put your headphones on and Mute the application
From your laptop move the camera so that you are looking over the shoulder of their avatar.
When you are ready to start, ask the Student to read the Intro Panels and use the controller to progress.
Press Record in the top right menu (ensure it is set to low or medium quality (in settings) unless you have a powerful laptop with a lot of memory)
In the top left corner of your laptop you can toggle the Control panel to drive the simulation
Remember to stop the recording when you have finished
