Igloo Integration

This integration is built by the Metaverse Learning development team supported by the Igloo application integration team. The integration enables the 360 video output to be displayed in a suitable format for Igloo immersive spaces.

Demo Scene

A web-based demo scene is available here: https://mxreality.blob.core.windows.net/demos/esol-igloo-test/index.html

Create a new WebView layer and set the URL to the demo scene link above. Set the WebView to a fixed resolution of 8000 x 4000px and apply the TruePerspective effect.

Controller

The content can be navigated and controlled using the Game Controller tab in Igloo Control Panel. Use the A button to select UI buttons in the scene and move the cursor using the gyro.

Launching the server locally

For the smoothest experience, we recommend hosting the server locally. In order to do this, you will need to follow a few steps:

Download the Metaverse Learning project (ESOL, Carpentry, etc).
Download some server hosting software of your choice (https://github.com/greggman/servez/releases/tag/v1.11.0 - This one is extremely straight forward)
In Igloo Core Engine
- Create a WebView layer, add the True Perspective effect, and set the resolution to 8000 x 4000 (same as above for the web-based scene)
- In the ‘Misc’ tab -> ‘On Add Batch’ section, enter the following:
  - start /d “ABC” servez.exe -- --port=8060 "XYZ" - where ABC is the folder path containing the Servez application, and XYZ is the file path of the Metaverse Learning content.
  - For example, in my case, this would be:
    CODE
```
start /d "C:\Users\DuncanStables\AppData\Local\Programs\Servez" servez.exe -- --port=8060 "C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooCoreEngine\example content\Carpentry_S01_RC6_IglooDemo"
```
In the ‘On Remove Batch’ section, paste the following (this does not need to be modified):
CODE
```
taskkill /im servez.exe /f
```

Please see below for how this should look in Igloo Core Engine:

Save the session with a suitable name in Igloo Core Engine so you can access at a later date. You’re now ready to go!

Controls

Click through the first few dialogue boxes, and then swap to a controller or the ‘Controller’ tab of Igloo Control Panel to navigate and play through the scene.
