• What's the limit in terms of model size and complexity?

  “Hardware is the limit 🚀”

  Jokes aside, Pixyz Review provides a high level of display performance regardless of the number of polygons, even on computers with low processing power. So it really depends on your hardware capabilities.

  To give you examples:

  • with a Razer Blade (16go RAM and 6go VRAM, i7), we can open and review a model of 100 000 parts with 50M triangles.
  • With a Surface Book, you will be able to open a model with 50 000 parts and 10M triangles

  Check the minimum & recommanded hardware requirements.

  The most notorious VR head-mounted displays are supported on SteamVR, Oculus & Mixed Reality portals :

  • HTC Vive / Vive Pro
  • HTC Vive 2
  • Oculus Rift
  • Oculus Rift S
  • Oculus Quest (using Oculus Link beta)
  • Windows Mixed Reality devices (Lenovo Acer, HP)

  We also support PowerWall technology (Quadbuffer) for design reviews on immersive systems using active stereoscopy, scale 1:1 visualization & ART tracking systems.

• How secure is the collaborative session? How to set up one?

  Pixyz collaborative mode is completely secure and IP protected. Users need to receive and open the exact same file locally in order to launch the collaborative session. This avoids unwanted 3D data sharing or image/video sharing through the connection/server.

  According to the network you’re using, setting a collaboration session can be easily achieved:

  • If you’re on a public network, you will be able to use the free collaboration servers we provide, depending on your geo-location for better performance.
  • If you’re on a private/restricted network, you might need special authorization to connect on our free server. It is also possible to install a private server on your local network which can be accessed with a specific IP.
