Technical requirements

This page lists system requirements and hardware compatibility information.

Note:

Note that a Virtual Reality device is not required in order to use Modeler. While we generally recommend using Modeler across both desktop and VR to get the best of both worlds, everything that can be achieved in VR is also possible on desktop.
