Spatial OS runs on a Windows computer and enables you to work with DICOM, imaging, and 3D data across different hardware setups. Use it on standard PC screens, autostereoscopic 3D displays, in VR – or all at the same time.

1. Download Spatial OS on your PC from Steam or our website.


2. Activate the applications. Learn more here.

Spatial OS allows you to connect a VR headset to your PC and work with your data in a VR environment. Your PC handles all rendering for both the PC screen and the VR headset.

Once connected, you can work either in the VR headset or on your PC screen. Use the switch at the top of the interface to move between display view and VR view.

To use the PC and VR headset at the same time, activate the Second Viewer license.

For Meta Quest headsets

Watch this video tutorial for a visual guide on connecting a Meta Quest headset to a PC with Link:

1. Install the Meta Horizon Link app on your PC.


2. Open Meta Horizon Link, go to Settings → General, and under OpenXR Runtime, click Set Meta Horizon Link as active. If the button is greyed out, Meta Horizon Link is already active.


3. Connect your headset to your PC using USB or Wi-Fi.


4. Open Meta Horizon Link on your PC and confirm the connection in the headset.

For Pico headsets

1. Install Pico Connect on both your PC (from the official Pico website) and your headset (from the Pico Store).


2. Install SteamVR from Steam on your PC.


3. Start Pico Connect on your PC and confirm the connection in the headset (USB or Wi-Fi).


4. Launch SteamVR from Pico Connect in the headset.


5. Add Spatial OS to SteamVR on your PC and run it.

To switch between the PC screen and VR view, use the switch at the top of the interface. It lets you choose which perspective you want to use to interact with the data.

If you have the Second Viewer license activated, you can use both the PC screen and the VR headset at the same time. In this case, the switch allows you to move between working on the PC and previewing the VR environment.

A typical setup involves installing the required drivers and software from the manufacturer’s website, then connecting the display using an HDMI or DisplayPort cable for video and, if needed, a USB cable for data transfer. Some devices support a single USB-C connection that handles both.

After connecting the cables, power on the monitor and your computer, and make sure the correct input source is selected. Finally, launch the manufacturer’s software to enable 3D features.

Compatible devices include Acer SpatialLabs, Samsung Odyssey 3D, and Barco Eonis. These systems are calibrated for high-resolution medical imagery and precise depth rendering.
