KeyShot

This section will guide you through the steps necessary to view the real-time window through a VR head-mounted display:

• This will only work with the Oculus Rift and OpenVR compatible headsets, such as the HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
• These instructions assume that you have the Oculus Rift or an OpenVR headset already installed and ready to go.

Perspective Realtime View

1. Open and setup the scene of your choice in KeyShot.
   
2. Go to the Project window’s Camera tab and open the Lens Settings accordion.
   
3. Select Perspective mode.
   
4. Enable the Stereo radio button.
   
5. You can change the stereo settings if you know specifically what you need or you can just leave the default settings the way they are.
   
6. Click on the Head-Mounted Display drop-down and choose which VR device you have. For the Oculus choose Oculus Rift and for an OpenVR headset, choose OpenVR.
7. It might take a few seconds for the VR device’s software to load but you can now put your headset on to view your scene.

Panoramic Real-time View
