How to publish an experience with VPS enabled

This tutorial will guide you through the process of publishing an experience using VPS (Visual Positioning System) for accurate AR experiences. VPS ensures that users are relocated precisely in the real-world environment, enhancing immersion and interactivity.

Step 1: Login and Create a New Project

1. Log in to your account.

2. In the top left corner, click the New Project button.

Step 2: Open the Editor and Add an Asset

1. Once the editor is open, navigate to the Asset section on the left side.

2. In the Asset Library, use the Over tab to filter and select a generic asset.

3. Click on the chosen asset to set it on the viewport and position it as desired.

Step 3: Select OVRLand and OVRMap

1. On the left menu, click on OVRLand and OVRMap.

2. Choose an OVRLand from your available list. If you do not own one or want to test your setup, you can select Workspace, which allows you to test all OVRMaps.

3. Switch to the OVRMaps tab and select an OVRMap that you own. If you do not have one, you can create it by downloading the OVER app.

4. After selecting the OVRMap, it will be instantiated in the scene. Position your previously added asset relative to the OVRMap, ensuring it aligns with the real-world environment.

Step 4: Set Up Project Settings

1. Navigate to the Project section to configure the details of your experience.

2. Set a thumbnail or video preview for your project.

3. Select the layer where you want to publish your experience: AR Layer or Virtual Layer.

   • If publishing in AR Layer, make sure to enable the Display OVRMap option if you want remote users to experience the correct environment.

Step 5: Publish the Experience

1. Once everything is set up, click Publish in the top right corner of the editor.

2. In the final review popup, verify all settings and click Continue if everything looks good.

3. Ensure that the occlusion settings are configured correctly, and then click Publish.

With VPS enabled, users who interact with your AR experience will be accurately relocated within the mapped environment, allowing for a seamless and immersive experience.

By following these steps, you ensure that your experience is fully aligned with real-world coordinates, providing users with a more engaging and precise AR interaction.
