Autodesk Workshop XR is now accessible to non-VR users, allowing more stakeholders to participate in immersive design reviews directly from desktop web browsers. This feature makes collaboration easier and more inclusive.

With a Workshop XR license, non-VR users can join collaborative reviews straight from the web without the need for a headset. This enhances accessibility, allowing more participants to contribute to the design process.

Getting Started

1. Check Credentials and Permissions

  • Each user must have their own Workshop XR license and the correct permissions to join.
  • Check with your Workshop XR admin for permissions information.

2. Have a VR User in a Workshop to Join

  • Currently, this feature requires the Workshop creator to be in a VR headset for others to join from the web.

How to Join a Workshop from the Web

  1. Log into workshop.autodesk.com
  2. Select the project that contains the workshop you will be reviewing.
  3. Make sure the Workshop creator is in VR.
  4. Click “Join on Web”.
  5. You will be sent into a “waiting room”.
  6. Once the Workshop creator is in VR, the “Join” button will turn blue, and you can join the session.

Current Experience for Web Users

  • As a web user, you will be “following” the VR user’s point of view.
  • There is currently no autonomous movement for web users. Sit back, relax, and let the VR user guide you through the model.

Viewing Issues

  • View issue details under the issue panel.
  • Edit issue details directly in the panel—ideal for collaboration, as typing on a keyboard is easier than in VR.
  • When the VR user is making or viewing an issue, the issue panel will open for the web user.

Viewing Models

  • The model will appear similar to the model viewer in Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Switching Models

  • When switching models, you will see a loading page until the model is ready.
  • If loading takes longer than 10 seconds, you will be sent back to the waiting room. When the Join Web button turns blue, click it to rejoin.

Settings

  • The browser auto-selects the system default microphone and speakers. You can change these in Settings.
  • The first time you join from the web, you’ll receive a notification to allow audio. You must allow this for proper sound and audio capabilities. If you skip this, check your browser settings to enable audio.
