Setting up Igloo Showroom

A guide on installing, running and adding your own content to the Igloo Showroom system.

Prerequisites

• You should already have either an Oculus Rift headset or a HTC Vive headset.
• If you have never used your headset before, please take the time to run through the headset setup procedure, including any additional tutorials that begin on startup.
• You should have your headset plugged in and initialized.
  

Initial Setup

1. Unzip the folder structure to somewhere accessible, like your desktop.
2. Open the Igloo Showroom 3.xx folder, and move the Igloo folder to the root of your C: Drive so that you end up with the igloo folder at the highest level.

1. Open the Igloo folder and navigate to the Install First directory, and systematically install each of the required pieces of software.
   

2. Go into the software subfolder, and start the program IglooWarper-Windows-v1.15.7\Igloo360Warper-Windows.exe, and IglooControl-Windows-v1.38.0\IglooControl.exe
   

   You may want to create shortcuts  to these programs for easier use later on. You can also pin them to your start menu.

   
   

   Warper Licence

   You may see a warning stating that the licence is invalid. This is not an issue and will not effect Igloo Showroom in any way.

3. Please use the subfolder content to place your HAP encoded movies. You can then drag these onto the control app to queue them ready for playback. They can then be played by selecting the appropriate tile.
