#11 Feature Tour  (13:08)

Getting Started:

  1. Make sure you hold onto the packaging! You’ll need it to move them around campus, send back any devices that have issues, etc.
  2. The lenses must not be exposed to sunlight, so the headsets should be transported in the boxes at all times.
  3. Before you jump into VR, make *sure* to at least watch the short video above: “Overview and Focusing.”  You also need to watch the short video above titled, “What To Do First.” Of course, watching *all* of the videos is ideal.
  4. If, when you open the VRedu app, you see a message telling you to upgrade your current version of VRedu, watch the video above about version upgrading.

FAQ:

  1. Who do I contact if I need anything?

Email help@vredu.cc for anything at all.

  1. What do I do if I have a bug, enhancement or other suggestion or comment to report?

We would love to hear any and all ideas, feedback, and everything else!  Simply email anyone from the VRedu team (help@vredu.cc).

  1. How do I navigate around the VRedu room, and how do I slide the board itself around?
  1. You can walk around your physical room and you’ll thus be walking about the virtual world.
  2. You can do the “rockstar hand” gesture (Index finger up, middle fingers down, pinky up, and thumb in), you will also see a black circle on your wrist indicating this gesture.  By doing this gesture and pointing towards your desired location you will glide forward.
  3. You can activate the laser/teleport tool (pinch thumb and ring finger) and point at the ground somewhere. Keep your finger in one spot for 3 seconds and a GO button will pop up. Press it to be teleported to that spot.  Tip: To move yourself closer or farther away from the board, teleport to a spot that is near where you are currently standing, but a little farther or closer to the board.
  4. To slide the board itself, you can reach your hand into the board, then grab it (by making a fist), then slide the board up, down, left, or right.
  1. Will I get motion sick in VR?

Most likely not. Of course, if you don’t feel good or you’re feeling dizzy, take a break or stop using it altogether. Why is the risk so low of getting sick? Old VR systems didn’t have a high enough frame rate to keep you from getting motion sickness, but newer systems are much better.  Also, when you walk around with your own feet, there is a much smaller chance of getting dizzy or sick (this is because your body ’sees’ motion in the headset, and also feels the very same motion as you walk — so your brain doesn’t get confused at all).  If you teleport inside the app (using the laser/teleport tool), there is a slightly elevated risk of motion sickness, but it’s still quite low.  That is, you ‘jump’ or ‘teleport’ instantaneously to another spot, which your brain can typically handle without getting confused.  If you slide the board up and down or left and right, this typically does not make anyone dizzy because you yourself are not moving…only the board is moving.   Now, if you use the pole to ‘pull’ yourself forward, backwards, left, ride, up, or down, there is a risk of getting dizzy, for some users. This is because your eyes are seeing you move but the rest of your body doesn’t sense any motion…which confuses your brain.  
In summary, if you think you’ll feel dizzy (or you do feel a little dizzy), the best thing is to walk with your own feet and to slide the board content to you instead of trying to move yourself over to the board content. Also helpful is to teleport if you want to move a significant distance instead of just sliding the board to you.


  1. Do we need the handheld game controllers?

You won’t need the controllers to use the VRedu tutoring application; the entire application uses hand tracking.  You can use the controllers for all the other apps/games, however.  They are fun! Make sure to try First Steps, which comes with the device (assuming you have permission from your supervisor).

  1. Are at least two headsets needed for a tutoring session?

Yes, each user engaging in the session will need a headset.

  1. What if I wear glasses? Can I wear them in my headset?

No problem! There is a video above about putting on the glasses spacer, see video #12 above.

  1. Can I put files other than PDF’s into the Files Section?
  1. Not currently, but you’ll be able to soon. For now, it’s just PDFs.  Let us know (see #1 above) what file types you would like to be supported!

  1. Can I make my own avatar, or choose from more options?

We are currently using all of the standard avatars that Meta lets developers use. We can and will (at some point) allow you full customization of your avatar, but right now it makes you look sort of creepy to the other person. Also, remember that you will never see yourself -- it’s only what the other person is going to see, and most of the time you’re looking at the content (not each other) anyway. But yes, we will certainly expand the avatar experience in the near future.

  1. Do students & tutors have to be in the same place to use VRedu? How does this work if the campus is closed due to COVID-19?

All you need is for each person to be on a WiFi network, anywhere in the world. You do not have to be on the same WiFi network. Just remember to always bring the power cord wherever you go, so you can charge the device between sessions.

  1. How long is the battery life?
  1. The battery lasts about 2 hours. And it takes about 2 hours to charge from 0% to 100%.  So make sure to always plug in the device when not in use.  There are also add-on batteries available. If you are using the devices more than 2 hours per day, please have your supervisor contact us. See #1 above.

  1. How can I maximize the battery life? The following article is helpful: How can I maximize the battery life of my Meta Quest 2?

  1. How do I turn the device on and off?

To turn the device on, press the power button on the side of the device. If the device is asleep, just press it once. If it’s completely off, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until you hear the chime.

To turn the device off, either press and hold the power button for three seconds to automatically power the headset off, whether it is on or off your head. You will know the device is turned off when you hear the chime. Alternatively, if the device is on your head, press the power button once, which will bring up three options: Restart, Power Off, Cancel. You can pinch with hand tracking to select any of these options, or press the power button once more to power the device off.

  1. Do both users need to go into the application at the same time?

Not at all. The application can be used individually, or with another person. Ideally, tutors and students go into the room early, to prepare the room. One person can be there, by themselves, as long as they want...and another person can join at any time.  You can also go back into the room after your session is over, to review the material.

  1. Do we need a school login?

Right now: no, you use a simple 4-digit userID that is provided by your institution just for the purposes of this project.  Since the devices are being shared between multiple users at a school, each user will need to put in their 4-digit code upon opening the app so that the system can reload your settings and preferences (including your “My Files” that you may have added from Google Drive). The most important reason is for the ‘Recent Rooms’ feature - we want you to be able to get into a room very quickly and easily...without having to remember a 7-digit room code.

In the future: yes, you might use your school credentials instead of the 4-digit code. We would love your ideas on how to make this as simple as possible (see question #1 above). For example, perhaps you could go on your phone and beam a code to the headset and then just put that code into your phone -- thus authenticating you.

  1. How do I add files to the file area?

You can login to google drive directly in the app and add any PDFs to your files.

  1. Troubleshooting: What if my hands aren’t showing up at all?  What if they are disappearing sometimes?

First, make sure your controllers are on the ground or on a table, if they are in your hands, they will override hand tracking. Next, clap your hands once or snap your fingers. Any movement helps the cameras pick up your hands.  Finally, make sure you aren’t in low light. If you still have a problem, contact Portia and Rachel (see question #1 above).  If your hands are disappearing, see videos #8 and #11 above about tips for hand tracking; it is likely that the cameras are having trouble seeing all of your fingers, which leads to the device questioning if your hand is a hand or not.

New Updates in this version:

  1. Enhancement: In addition, to 2D text we now have 3D text which can easily be converted to and from 2D text by pulling the text on or off the board.
  2. Enhancement: We have added a pointer to the 2D marker and a pinch to 2D draw feature .
  3. Enhancement: We have added a helper menu with tutorial videos on the bottom right of each pallet tab.
  4. Enhancement: All keyboard style and layouts have been updated with 3D buttons.
  5. Enhancements: There is now an added search bar and sorting for PDFs.
  6. Enhancement: There is now a clear board, objects, and room button in the pallet.

  9. Bug: We have improved the placement of the keyboard, pallet and objects to avoid overlap that makes these items unusable.
  10. Bug: 3D objects resize threshold as been adjusted to improve resizing objects

Version 23.0 (released 8/4/21 early morning)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: After many requests, we have added text boxes into the app, which you can add to the board. You will find the text box tool in the Basic Tools menu on your Tools Palette. Simply tap the text box tool on the Tools Palette, and then tap the board where you would like to place the text box. A keyboard will automatically appear below the text box for you to type.

2. Enhancement: You can now grab PDFs with one hand to move them around on the board.

When you close your fist around a PDF (which is stuck to the board), you will see your hand glow with a blue outline to show that you are grabbing the PDF. You can now move your hand around on the board to move the PDF around. When you release your fist, the PDF will stay where you leave it.

3. Enhancement: You can now resize PDFs by grabbing them with two hands. When you close your fists around the PDF (which is stuck to the board), you will see your hands glow with blue outlines to show that you are grabbing the PDF. You can now move your hands closer together to shrink the PDF or move them further apart to make the PDF larger.

4. Enhancement: You can now delete PDFs, text boxes, and other objects on the board by pressing the small trash can button which will appear when your hand is close to the object in question. A pop up will appear to confirm your decision before the file is deleted.

5. Big fix: The issue where writing with the marker was sometimes smoothing too much (and losing some of the detail of a drawing) has now been fixed.

6. Bug fix: The issue where the laser pointer sometimes did not work on the right hand side has now been fixed.

Version 22.0 (released 7/21/21 early morning)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: We have added a brand new gesture for movement, providing a much easier way to move around. To move around with this gesture, make the "rock star" gesture that you previously used to bring up the Movement Pole, but do this with your index & pinky fingers pointing in the direction you want to move (with your palm down). You can see this gesture demonstrated in this 30 second video clip HERE. Don't worry, the movement pole is still included in the app until we perfect this gesture. We would love your feedback on which option you prefer!

2. Enhancement: A substantial improvement to both 2D & 3D writing, which makes writing much more smooth. Again, we would love your feedback when you get a chance to try this out!

3. Enhancement: A new tool in the Settings menu called Height Settings, which allows you to adjust your avatar's height up and down. You can set your height to one of 10 height settings. This means that the Movement Pole is now only used to move your avatar forward, backwards, left and right (i.e. not up and down), which makes it much easier to control.

4. Enhancement: We have added a Bug Reporting tool to each page of the user palette. You will see an icon of a bug inside a magnifying glass on the bottom right of each page in the palette. If you experience a bug, pressing this button will send a report to us of your experience, so that we can check it out and fix the problem.

5. Enhancement: We have changed the Thickness Slider for Markers & Erasers for 3 options of thickness: Thin, Medium and Thick. Try these out and let us know what you think.

Version 21.0 (released 7/7/21 early morning)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: A redesigned Google Drive integration, making it much easier and faster to access your PDF files within VRedu.

A folder view just like you are used to in Google Drive has been added, making the tool much easier to navigate. Files highlight in grey when selected, making it clear which file you have selected, and a 'click' sound has been added as each button is selected. You can now use the "back" button on the keyboard to go back a page in the webview, and you can scroll up and down with the up and down arrows on the keyboard too.

To access your Google Drive, access the “Files” menu item on the top line of icons in your Tools Palette, and then the “Goggle Drive” tool (the left-most icon on the second row of icons in your Tools Palette). This will open a webpage on your Tools Palette where you can navigate to sign into your Google account and choose PDF files to upload to VRedu.

2. Enhancement: A redesigned Board Customization page of the Tools palette, making it much more intuitive to switch between a blackboard or a whiteboard (or any shade of gray in between), and to add, remove or change the color of the gridlines or dots on the board.

3. Enhancement: We have rewritten each of the "Question Mark" menus on each of the Tool Palette pages, with clear instructions of how to use the tools on each page of the Palette. To check the instructions for any page, press the question mark icon at the bottom right of the Tool Palette and the instructions will display above the palette.

4. Bug fix: Several issues where users are unable to see or hear each other upon first entry have been fixed.

Version 20.0 (released 6/22/21 early morning)

New Updates in this version:

        1. Enhancement: Several improvements to Google Drive, to make it easier for users to

 access and bring their files into VRedu. Some of these fixes include: fonts are bigger, the back button is bigger to navigate back a page, scrolling on the tools palette is easier. To access your Google Drive, access the “Files” menu item on the top line of icons in your Tools Palette, and then the “Goggle Drive” tool (the left-most icon on the second row of icons in your Tools Palette). This will open a webpage on your Tools Palette where you can navigate to sign into your Google account and choose PDF files to upload to VRedu.

2. Enhancement: The Timer tool in the Utilities page on the Tool Palette now has 2 minutes set by default, to set a quick timer to quiz a student.

3. Bug fix: The issue where users are sometimes kicked out of the VRedu room as another user enters or leaves the VRedu room has now been fixed.

4. Bug fix: The issue where users could sometimes see their own hands or other users hands through objects has now been fixed.

5. Bug fix: The issue where icons did not light up correctly as tools were selected has now been fixed.

Version 19.0 (released 5/25/21 early morning)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: Size icons added to the marker line thickness slider to demonstrate which end is "thin" and "thick" on the slider.

2. Enhancement: The laser pointer now stops on objects rather than shining through them.

3. Enhancement: The vector arrows on the pole for movement have been improved, so that there is now an arrow in all 6 of the directions that a user can move by using the pole.

4. Bug fix: The issue where users were able to accidentally teleport beyond the board has now been fixed.

5. Bug fix: The issue where a user's hands appear to be positioned incorrectly after they recenter the application (by holding their thumb and index finger on their left hand together) has been fixed.

Version 18.0 (released 5/18/21)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: A better icon for the laser pointer and teleport tool (found floating above your ring finger, activated by holding your thumb and ring finger together), to make this tool more easily recognizable.

2. Enhancement: Teleporting has been made much easier & faster. Instead of waiting for the "Touch to Teleport" button to appear, you now just point your laser pointer on the floor where you want to go, wait 3 seconds for the spinner to complete the circle, and then you will teleport automatically. This will allow users to move more quickly through the room. Let me know what you think!

3. Enhancement: There are vector arrows on the pole for movement (generated by doing the gesture shown inside the icon on your inner wrist) to remind users how to grab and use this pole. Let me know if you find this helpful!

4. Enhancement: We have added more light to the rooms to make 3D shapes and objects stand out more against dark backgrounds.

5. Enhancement: We have added Jazz music to the music list, found under Audio Settings in the Settings menu. Let me know what else you'd like to hear!

6. Bug fix: The issue where users are kicked from the room upon a second user joining has been improved. Please let me know if you continue to experience this issue and we will work with you to solve it!

7. Bug fix: Several small fixes to the calculator: replacing "PI" with π in calculator results; removing the requirement to use parenthesis when calculating functions including PI (eg 5π now works); and "ans" button is now the same color as other buttons and shows correctly in the equations when typed; backspace deletes the whole function, not individual letters (eg "log" backspaces completely, not just to "lo"); all letters are lower case & the same size.

8. Bug fix: The issue where the brightness slider didn't change the room brightness much at the lower end of the slider has been fixed.

9. Bug fix: The issue where the environment sometimes changed unprompted has now been fixed.

Version 17.0 (released 5/11/21)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: You are now able to un-select a Shape Sticker (found in the Object Tools menu) or Emoji Sticker (found in the Social Tools menu) by tapping that same sticker again on the palette, to put it back where it came from. Reminder: Check out feature of the week for another way to do this.

2. Enhancement: The STOP button on Celebrations has been moved to underneath the Celebrations buttons, rather than in the middle of the Celebrations button.

3. Bug fix: Recent Rooms sometimes not displaying in the Lobby has now been fixed.

4. Bug fix: PDF files sometimes appearing underneath previously drawn marker lines on the board has now been fixed.

5. Bug fix: Pressing stop on a celebration sometimes stopping the celebration for one user but not the other has been fixed.

6. Bug fix: Music is defaulted to mute, but at 50% volume, so now when you un-select mute, music will play automatically.

7. Bug fix: Edit object menu sometimes popping up when users are drawing has now been fixed.

Version 16.0 (released 5/4/21)

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: Larger scroll bars have been added to the Environments menu, under the Settings page of the Tools Palette, to make it easier to access the new infinite environments.

2. Enhancement: The Eraser tool has been added to both the Molecules & Objects pages of the Tools Palette so that you can quickly and easily erase 3D objects and molecules without going back to the Basic Tools page to select the Eraser.

3. Enhancement: Whenever a user is interacting with any 3D object, their hand will always be visible. If their hand is behind an object they are holding, a blue or green light silhouette will show through the object.

4. Bug fix: The scroll bar and navigation arrows on the Stopwatch menu of the Utilities page in the Tools Palette will not show until there are several Stopwatch Laps to scroll through.

5. Bug fix: Issues with the Touch to Teleport button becoming disabled have been fixed.

6. Bug fix: The issue where users do not see the floor extend along with extended board segments when another user has extended the board, has been fixed.

New Updates in this version:

1. Enhancement: Several new, infinite environments added. These can be found by scrolling down in the existing Environments menu, under the Settings page of the Tools Palette. They will allow you to teleport and extend the board infinitely as you add more content. Let me know which is your favorite, and what else you would like to see!

2. Enhancement: Redesigned lobby pages have been added, providing a smoother experience to enter a VRedu room

3. Enhancement: A new Celebration, "Balloon Drop", has now been added, under Celebrations in Social Tools
