How do I connect to a Hololight Space Server?
Connect to a Hololight Space Server locally and to Hololight Space cloud
This article will explain how you can connect to Hololight Space with your XR Device. Before you begin, please make sure, that you installed Hololight Space on your PC and the Hololight Space Client on your XR Device.
If you want to use the cloud version of Hololight Space, you need an account for hololight.space. Please contact us for access.
Hololight Space Local Connection
To begin, launch the Hololight Space Server on your system. This can typically be done by locating the application in your program menu or desktop and double-clicking its icon.
The Hololight Space Server (PC) and the Hololight Space Client (XR Device) need to be in the same network
Next, take your compatible XR device, such as a HoloLens 2, Meta Quest 3, PICO 4 Ultra or HTC Vive XR Elite, and turn it on. Check the Wifi connection to make sure that you are in the same network. Open the Hololight Space Client application on the device. This client acts as the interface that allows you to connect to the server and interact with Hololight Space.
In the client application, you will see a prompt to enter the server's IP address. This address is a unique identifier for your Hololight Space Server on the network. You can find this IP address displayed in the server application window. Enter the IP address carefully, ensuring that there are no typos or errors.
After entering the IP address, click the 'Connect' button to establish the connection. If everything is set up correctly, the client will communicate with the server, and you will soon be immersed in the Hololight Space experience. If you encounter any issues during this process, double-check that both the server and your XR device are connected to the same network, as this is crucial for a successful connection.
