Stages are set zones within an ICE file that provide ICEvr users with pre-defined area to move around. Stages are ideal for a free-roaming VR experience, like that provided by VIVE. With Stages, you don't need to focus on a specific location and direct the user to look at it. Instead, you send them to a general area that they can explore in VR. Once transported to a Stage, the ICEvr user is free to move around.
To Set up a Stage:
1.Open the ICEvr folder in the Product Tree.
2.In the Product Palette, select Stage.
3.Stamp the Stage into the ICE 2D plan view.
Note: Rotate the Stage prior to stamping by using period and comma keys.
