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.
