VR Requirements

See a list of the VR requirements and supported devices.

If you meet the VRED system requirements, your machine could be all set for VR. However, please check the Video Card/GPU Requirements section below, as the requirements that are called out there are to aid with a comfortable VR experience.

Since your safety, as well as your comfort, is important to us, please look over the VR Safety section. Another important link, if collaborating with multiple participants using HMDs in the same real-world location, is Setting up a VR Room.

VR Safety

Always follow the device manufacturer's health and safety (including any regulatory information) and operating directions. To help prevent injury, if you are unable to properly align the tracking spaces, we do not recommend the use of headsets in the same physical space as others. Safety avatars, which keep you from bumping into others, might not be correctly positioned, resulting in collisions. We recommend enabling the health and safety guidance and operating directions included with your device, when using VRED VR.

Stop use if you experience any discomfort or health reactions.

For customers utilizing the same tracked space for more than one (1) VR participants in collaboration sessions, the virtual room (VR Room) in Autodesk software, as well as the VR device's roomscale tracked space, must be correctly setup, to enable area precision and syncing of tracking to display safety mechanisms. These safety mechanisms (currently unavailable in Raytracing) provide guidance to help prevent collisions between participants operating inside the same roomscale tracked space. Participants in collaboration sessions should maintain general awareness of other participants and always use care (i.e., avoid rapid or unexpected movements). Collaboration sessions should only be run while under the supervision of another person who is able to warn of hazards during a session.

Video Card/GPU Requirements

High performance is critical to a pleasant VR experience and is essential to reduce any discomfort. It is important to use an NVIDIA or AMD VR ready graphics card, with the amount of graphics power increased to meet your content demands.

Supported VR Devices

VRED supports the VR devices listed below.

* VRED currently only supports the use of HTC Vive or Oculus Rift (via OpenVR) when in a VR room during a collaboration session. See Tracking System Precision for more details.

** This only works through SteamVR, using the OpenVR HMD mode.
