      I have a model that I would like the client to "walk through". I was thinking of the HTC Vive and I guess some 3rd party viewer like Sketchfab or Simlab. Has anyone done this and can share some process and/or suggestions? TIA

        We use an Oculus Rift with Enscape with good results. They say they work with Vive on their website.

          Thanks for the reply, checked out their site and some YouTube videos, looks pretty simple, think this is the route I'll take.

            I have both Vive and Rift and I prefer the Vive. Room scale has a lot to do with it. I use Unity to do walkthroughs.

              Enscape will blow your mind. Not turning back once you go VR.

                  Share your experience here with the Vive. Interested to know how it goes.

                    Well finally got around to getting the Vive setup. Steam was a bit of a PIA, wouldn't connect to the server from the Vive setup, had to go to Steam, download and install from there which took 3 times for some reason, all in all bout 2 hr setup from mounting the base stations, to installing software, creating Vive and Steam accounts, and going through the setup. As a side note took about an hour to get Sketchup setup on the new rig, why after all these years can't I export a customization file from sketchup and import into a new install? Such a pain setting toolbars up. Oh well tomorrow I'll get Enscape up and running.
