Introduction
maxReality™ Viewer is an application that allows you to view content created
through the maxReality plug-in and saved in a VWD file format. The Viewer
application can be launched from within Autodesk 3ds Max or as stand-alone
program, independent of 3ds Max and the maxReality plugin.
The maxReality Viewer supports both 2D and 3D (stereoscopic) video and two
viewing modes – VR and AR.
Note: VR (Virtual Reality) mode displays a scene as seen through an outward looking camera.
AR (Augmented Reality) Mode is a scene shown from an inward looking camera.
A Wrap AR eyewear system is required for maxReality Viewer to function. If an
appropriate Wrap AR eyewear system is not detected the Viewer application will not
run.
Using maxReality Viewer
You can launch the maxReality Viewer from within 3ds Max, by pressing the
“Launch” button in the maxReality rollout. It can also be run as a standalone
application by double-clicking the maxReality Viewer application icon or a
maxReality document saved with a VWD file extension.
When the Viewer application starts and loads a VWD file, two side-by-side images
will be displayed on your computer monitor and a single 3D image on your Wrap
AR eyewear.
