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.




  • Open the Igloo folder and navigate to the Install First directory, and systematically install each of the required pieces of software.
    This includes all of the redistributables (both x32 and x64 bit versions)
    Steam, and subsequently Steam VR (You will need an account)

  • 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.



    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.


  • 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.


    You can also use the control app to:

    • Jump forward or backward on the playhead
    • Stretch and rotate content
    • Control Fading
    • Control Looping
    • Pause and Play content


  • Move to the Igloo/Software/IglooVirtual 3.xx folder, and launch Igloo Showroom 3.xx.exe

    Whilst in this folder, you can also access the Igloo Showroom 3.xx_Data folder which contains the StreamingAssets folder where there is also a folder named IglooTextures, this is where you should place any textures that you would like to see displayed on the igloo structures.

    Please overwrite the current texture, to see your texture within igloo virtual.

    Please save the texture in the following format before adding it.

    JPG - 6330px x 1617px


  • Put on your HMD and you will be within Igloo Virtual.
