View your homes in VR mode

Post by ecopy »

I don't know if it is the right place to ask.
Yesterday I tried to find some app for android to view exported .obj in VR-mode with google cardboard. The only one worked was obj2vr, but it is no longer supported and has a major bug of a flipped x-axis.
Nevertheless, even this buggy app gave me some worthy ideas and impressions. So if there will a simple way to view your project in VR, this could be praised very high by users like me.
I don't know if this should be an enchanced HTML5 plug-in or some app for mobile device, or even main program functionality. But anyway this would be really sweet =)

There's an export to html tool for SH3D. Then you can view your files even on a phone.

Yes I know that, but this is not intended for VR, right?
Or is there some way to make it work in "stereo" with Google Cardboard?

I've been working on this myself and have an iOS app working with Google Cardboard. It's still a very manual process to import a house into my app and requires rebuilding the app. I'm hoping to simplify this and make it usable for others too when I find the time.

Hello everyone, I was wondering

Have you finally have found an easy way to view houses in VR or has this feature been abandoned?

Thanks

You can import OBJ files exported from Sweet Home 3D in SketchUp, but I don't think this option is available in the free version of SketchUp.
Anyway, there must be some viewers for OBJ format too, which would be more direct.

Hello,

My solution so far is to export to .obj and to open the model in 'VR Model Viewer', available on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/8914 ... el_Viewer/)

It's not perfect but it's cheap (one time payment of 2.4€) and allows you to really navigate the model in real time.
So far I haven't tried to mess with the lightning I don't know if it is possible, so it is clearly not a photorealistic solution, but it allows me to navigate my project in 3D with my VR headset (Oculus/Meta quest 2)

If there are any better options I'm interested, but so far anything else was available with a limited Trial (like SimLab) and a very expensive price for the full version, often with a yearly subscription...
I tried Arkio that works for free for .obj models under 15Mo, but I wuickly get models larger than that.
