Quick start

Your first scene in three minutes

1. Install and open

Accept the alpha invitation sent to your Meta account email.
In the headset, open the Library, find SpaceSuit View and install it.
Open it. The May beetle sample appears with a welcome card. Select Got it.

2. Allow file access

The menu shows Allow file access. Point at it and pull the trigger.
On the Android page, switch on Allow access to manage all files, then go back to the app.

The app uses this only to list and import scenes in the headset's Download folder. The two samples work without it.

3. Get a scene and import it

Menu > Import > Browse SuperSplat. Pick a scene and download it as PLY file (not the SOG / "Source file" download).
Back in the app, check Splats to keep (500k runs smoother, 750k shows more detail), then select the zip.
It opens when it's done, and stays on the Scenes tab for next time.

Upside down? Turn Upright fix off on the Import tab, delete the converted scene on the Scenes tab, and import it again.

4. Controls

Quest controllers. Thumbstick: tabs, scroll; in fly mode, move (left) or up and down (right). Menu: open, close. Trigger: select, measure. X and A: whole scene. Y and B: close menu. Grip: hold to move; hold and push the stick up or down to scale.

Good to know

Known limitations

SpaceSuit View is an early alpha, tested so far on one Meta Quest 3.

Smoothness

Small scenes run at the Quest's full 72 frames per second; large ones don't yet. Measured on a Quest 3 with the samples, each seen from about 0.85 m:

Scene	Frames per second
Potted plant (269,000 splats)	71 to 73, the full rate
May beetle (500,000 splats)	44 to 47

Scenes imported at 500,000 splats run at about the beetle's rate; 750,000 is slower still. You may notice judder when you turn quickly or fly. If it's uncomfortable, stop, and tell us. Making it faster is planned.

Scene size and files

Imported scenes are reduced to 500,000 splats by default (750,000 optional). Very large scenes lose some fine texture.
Supported: standard PLY, SuperSplat compressed PLY, and SuperSplat's "PLY file" zip.
Not supported yet: SOG, SPZ, KSPLAT and SPLAT.
Size, position and measurements aren't remembered between scenes or sessions yet.
Delete in the menu removes the file from the headset for good, after you confirm.

Headsets and controls

Supported: Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest 2. All figures above were measured on a Quest 3; a Quest 3S hasn't been tested yet.
On a Quest 2, passthrough is black and white and scenes run slower.
Controllers are required; hand tracking isn't supported.
