Example:
“hopper:https://vrweb.somedomain.com/index.vrml” will start the Hopper and load and execute the index.vrml file.

The Portal Hopper can Install and display an avatar by passing these parameters to the hopper:
-al pass asset bundle name of an avatar to the Hopper
-an pass avatar name in bundle to the Hopper (may be left out and the Hopper will use the bundle name as avatar name)

For testing, the hopper can map all links to a different domain.
-map <local path>
This can be used to test a project locally. If left off, the mapping goes to “http://localhost”. The domain name is then mapped to a folder name

Example:
-map http://localhost maps the link “https://vrweb.mydomain.com/myProject/location1.vrml” to “http://localhost/vrweb.mydomain.com/myProject/location1.vrml”

This can be very useful in conjunction with XAMPP or MAMP servers which provide you with a local HTTP server (localhost). For the above example using -map, the referenced files need to be located in <MAMP or XAMPP install folder>/htdocs/vrweb.mydomain.com/myProject

And the Developer Toolkit for developing Hopper technologies:

Please note that no new code can be added to the Portal Hopper via Asset Bundles, as all executable code must be present at the time the app is built.

Code can only added via World Builder’s Runtime Scripting.

• Oculus Rift-S
• Oculus Quest 2
• Oculus Quest 3

Please note that at this time, Portal Hoper does not have an Android version, so you’ll need to connect your Oculus Quest 2 or Quest 3 to your Windows PC using Oculus Link or Air Link to use them with the app. For the best experience, ensure your system meets the necessary requirements for running VR content on a PC.

An Android version for Quest 2 & 3 and Pico devices is investigated. We have first internal versions but we have not made a final decision on if and when to release them. A release in the first half of 2025 might be possible but not guaranteed.

1. Install Meta Quest Link on your Windows machine.

2. Connect Headset with your computer via USB 3.0 cable and turn on the headset 

3. In the Meta Quest Link App on your computer make sure your headset is properly connected. If you click on the headset in the “Devices” section, you can use “Device Setup” to set up the connection. 

4. In the Meta Quest Link App go to Settings → General. Then enable “Unknown Sources”. The settings should look like this:

5. In the headset select Quest Link from the Settings Menu and connect to your computer. Launch Link to enter the Link space which will be visible on your headset. It should look similar to this:

6. Start Portal Hopper on your Windows machine

7. In Portal Hopper use F1 on your keyboard to switch to VR Mode and F2 or F3 to switch to Non-VR mode 

Grabbing:
For grabbing hold your hand insid the object you want to pick up. Press the “grab button” (middle finger) on the controller and you grab the object.

Teleporting:
For teleporting move one of the sticks forward and an ark will show the point of your destination. Uppon stick release you’ll be teleported to this point.

Use shift for sprinting and space bar for jumping.

Change View Mode:
Switch view mode between VR*, 1st-Person, 3rd-Person view mode or (un-)lock the view for better mouse interaction.
* F1 without VR-Device: 3rd-Person-View-Mode

Interactions:
Use left mouse button click for interacting with interactables in the environment. When hovering over an object, the mouse cursor will reflect the interaction. On the ground, you can teleport (jump-move) to a new position by holding down the left mouse button for a short while. Some objects can be grabbed and moved. The mouse cursor shows a hand symbol over moveable objects. Normally, the movement will be on a horizontal plane (forward-backward and left-right). If you hold down the ctrl-key, the movement becomes vertical (up-down and left-right).

Holding down the right mouse button will center the mouse on the screen. This is particularly convenient when performing several teleports or walking around. Just hold down the right mouse button while choosing a direction.

System Requirements Windows (non VR):
CPU: modern 4 Core (recommended 8 or more cores)
GPU: modern iGPU or GeForce GTX 960 or AMD equivalent (higher for better experience is recommended)
RAM: min. 8 GB (recommended is 16+ GB)
Storage: install 300 MB + Cache min. 1 GB (recommended 3+ GB)

Android:
Currently not available. We’ll give you an update when we finished our internal testing.
Right now we are aiming for a Meta Quest 2 or newer.

* are only required for first install
