Autodesk Alias in Virtual Reality for HMDs, SteamVR, OpenXR, Powerwall, CAVE and DOME

This quick guide shows the necessary configuration steps to bridge Autodesk Alias into Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays, compatible to SteamVR or OpenXR, like: Meta Quest 1, 2 & 3, HTC Vive (Pro2),  Varjo, Pico and Windows Mixed Reality HMDs. The guide also applies for bridging Autodesk Alias for Powerwalls, 3D stereo projectors, CAVE and DOME.

• Start the moreViz Launcher

• Notice the moreViz-Tray icon (next to system time) and right-click it, select “moreViz Application Enabler”
  

• Click “Locate known Apps”. The more3D application enabler will search the standard program files folders for known Autodesk Alias installations and add them to the list.
  

• If your Alias is installed to a non standard directory, please click “Add Application”, locate the “Alias.exe”. The standard path is
  X:\Program Files\Autodesk\AliasDesign2019\bin”.
  Depending on your Alias Version the pathname might be different, yet the “bin” subfolder in the Alias”Version” “Year” (e.g. AliasDesign2019) level is where to find the targeted “Alias.exe”.
  

• Place the checkmark in the “enabled” column for Alias / Alias.exe
  

• Close the Application Enabler.

• The moreViz VR bridging function is now available for the Alias Design installation. Start the moreViz Client(s) and then start Alias Design.
