What is Virtual Reality?

VR is a computer generated environment, that can be experienced with a VR headset. To interact, you can use gestures and VR motion controllers. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment, business and educational purposes. Other types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.

Are there age restrictions?

We do not recommend to use VR for children younger than 6 years. The minimum distance between their eyes (interpupillary distance) is not developed enough yet to have an effective 3D depth effect.

Are there any safety precautions?

In case you have any health problems, please first consult your doctor regarding the safety of using VR with your condition. In case you feel dizziness or motion sickness during your VR experience, we recommend taking a little break.

Which programs and file formats can I use to create contents?

Use the software you like, as long as you follow our guidelines for supported file-formats. The Virtofy tours themselves are created either with the Virtofy In-App Editor for quick & direct solutions or with our Unity 3D plugin for complex virtual presentations.

Can you create a Virtofy tour for us?

Yes, just drop us a line, what you want and we will create a special offer for you.

How long should a Virtofy tour in VR be approximately?

One Virtofy tour in VR should not be longer than 10-15 minutes. This duration we found to work best for presenting in VR, especially with people who are not used to the technology.

Are there things which are not allowed in Virtofy?

Virtofy is not allowed to be used for contents like pornography, violence, weapons, drugs, promoting violence or hate towards an existing group, race, nation or religion.

Who can access my Virtofy tour?

Only people that you add to the sharing list of your Virtofy tour can start the tour on their own. If you want to invite other users into an active online tour, you can do that directly from within the tour. The users you invite don’t need to be on your sharing list to participate.

Can other users access my uploaded source files?

No, only you as tour owner can access your original source files. When you import them, they are converted for a secure and performant experience. Everybody who starts your tour will only see the converted data. They will never have acess to the original source files. Only if you forward the actual tour ownership to another account, they would be able to acess the source files of your tour.
