This quick guide shows the necessary configuration steps to bridge Bentley Context Capture 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 Bentley Context Capture for Powerwalls, 3D stereo projectors, CAVE and DOME.

Guide to bridge Bentley Context Capture / Acute Viewer into Virtual Reality:

  • 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 Bentley Context Capture / Acute Viewer installations and add them to the list.
  • If your Bentley Context Capture / Acute Viewer is installed to a non standard directory, please click “Add”, locate the “CCViewer.exe” file. The standard path is:
    “X:\Program Files\Bentley\ContextCapture Viewer\bin\CCViewer.exe”
  • Click the Enable button right next to the newly created entry.
  • Close the Application Enabler.
  • The moreViz VR bridging function is now available for the Bentley Context Capture / Acute Viewer installation.
  • Start the moreViz Client(s) and then start Bentley Context Capture / Acute Viewer.
  • Models for CC Viewer should be generated with disabled LOD functions for best viewing experience in VR.

Quick Tipps:

  • For best loading / animation performance set the “Connection Type” to “Shared Memory” in the moreViz Launcher’s Connection Settings (only available for single-client setups, e.g. HMD or ASD on the local computer).

  • For best visual impression, set “AntiAliasing” to 4x (or higher) in the moreViz Launcher’s Client Settings

  • Quadro / Laptop Users: Make sure to have followed the GPU Config Guide.
