How to bring your own project to the VR glasses 1. Download the ViSoft VR app from Apples App Store. If the app is not displayed to you in the App Store, your iPhone is not ready for iOS 8.0, which is a minimum requirement to run the app. Therefore you need the iPhone 4S or higher. 2. Create your VR-panorama as described above. Connect your iPhone with your PC or Mac by cable and start iTunes. 3. Open your iPhone in iTunes and select the menu option „Apps“. 4. Scroll down to the “File Sharing“ section. Select ViSoft VR from the list. 5. Select the “Panoramas” folder in the list of ViSoft VR Documents and click the “Save to...” button. Select a folder where you want to store this folder on your PC or Mac. 6. Navigate to that folder with the Finder (explorer) and open the “Panoramas” folder. Add your own panorama to this folder. 8. By default, this folder contains a 3D-panorama called “default.vipr”. This project is the project first displayed after the program start. If you like, you can replace this project with a project of your own with the same name. One project in this folder has to be named „default.vipr“, otherwise only a grey background is displayed at program start. 9. Return to iTunes and click the „Add…“-button. Select the Panoramas folder and click „Add“ 9. Restart ViSoft VR. Your panorama is now ready to discover! 10. The Panorama database of ViSoft VR is dynamically filled with projects from our ViSoft 360-cloud.
