Using Autodesk VRED in Varjo Reality Cloud

When using Autodesk VRED in Varjo Reality Cloud, there are two different user roles: host and participant. The host can start and end sessions, while participants can join and leave sessions started by a host.

Hosting a session

When you create a VRED session in Varjo Reality Cloud, you automatically become the host for that session.

As host, you can choose a VRED scene for the session and define who can join. While only the host can end a session, other participants can freely join and leave.

Creating a session

To create a new session in Varjo Reality Cloud:

1. In Varjo Base, navigate to the Services menu and open Varjo Reality Cloud.
2. Select New session.
3. Select settings for your session:
   • Organization: If you are a member of more than one organization, select which organization the session belongs to. Only members of this organization can join the session.
   • Session name: Enter a name for your session.
   • File: Select a VRED file to use for the session. Only .vpb files are supported.
   • Participants: Select up to four participants from your organization. Only these users can see and join the session.
4. Select Create session. Depending on your file size and network connection, this may take a while.
5. When the session is ready, select Start. Your session is now in progress and available for other participants to join.

Ending a session

To end your session in Varjo Reality Cloud:

1. While the session is in progress, select End session.
