This guide explains how to create and display 3D content using Project Spirare.

In this guide, Meta Quest is used as display devices, and 3D content is shown on a 3D Map.

  • Meta Quest (Meta Quest 3 / Meta Quest 3S)
  • PC (Windows or Mac)

Additionally, the Meta Quest and PC must be connected to the same network, and communication between them must be permitted.

The created content can be displayed in the Spirare Browser app via a network. When you click the share icon at the top of the screen, a URL for loading the content will be displayed.


Please proceed to the next steps with the Spirare Editor Desktop app open.

Check the Meta Quest IP Address​

In the Settings menu, select Wi-Fi, then choose the network you are currently connected to. Check the IP address which is displayed in the details of the connected network.

Launch the Spirare Browser App​

Please launch the 3D map version of the Spirare Browser app (display name Spirare Browser 3DMaps) on the Meta Quest.

By operating the side of the map base with the controller, you can move, rotate, and scale the map object.
By operating the top of the map base with the controller, you can move and zoom the displayed area of the map.

Load 3D Content with the Management Page​

On your PC’s browser, go to http://<Meta Quest IP Address>:8080 to display the management page.

In the POML URL input field, enter the URL displayed in Spirare Editor Desktop (http://<PC IP Address>:8080), then click the Load button.

The content will appear on the map in the Quest app. If the placed content is outside the visible area, move the map or zoom out to adjust the display range.
