Prerequisites#

Are you ready to start creating advanced digital twin simulations in no time? Read along for some basic setup steps before enjoying the full potential of XR Twin.

First, make sure:

  • Your graphics card (GPU) is VR-compatible and install the latest version of drivers,
  • Install the latest version of SteamVR. The minimum required SteamVR version is 2.5.4. Note that some headsets can be used without SteamVR.

The minimum Laptop configuration for using XR Twin is:

  • Processor: Intel Core i7 2GHz,
  • RAM: 16 GB,
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX series 20 (RTX 2070) or equivalent,
  • Operating System: Windows 10, 64-bit,
  • Ports: USB-3.0 (1 or more), HDMI or DisplayPort 1.2 or USB-C with video output (according to your VR equipment).

The recommended configuration for using XR Twin with heavy 3d models is:

  • Processor: Intel Core i9 2GHz or better.
  • RAM: 32 GB or more.
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX series 30 (RTX 3080), equivalent or better,
  • Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit,
  • Ports: USB-3.0 (2 or more), USB-C with video output (Thunderbolt 4 recommended) or (mini) DisplayPort 1.4 or newer (according to your VR equipment),

Keep in mind that the more powerful your computer, the more objects you can load and interact with while maintaining a high level of performance.
