Importing Data from VR Games

This page is adapted from the instructions provided by Didier, who is the skipper of "Le Grand DIC" in VR games.

There are two main steps to establishing a link between VRTool and the Virtual Regatta game server:

1. Obtain the URL that the game console sends to the VR game server to query the boat positions.
2. Configure VRTool to use this URL.

This method requires VRTool version 2.06 or later.

1. Obtain the Query URL

This is the trickiest part of the process, especially if you are not a little bit "geek". However the screenshots should help you overcome the obstacles. The process depends on your browser. Some browsers are continually upgraded - the version to which the instructions apply is shown for each browser.
