Two HMDs in a single environment

[adhocdown]

How would you go about setting up two HMDs to work simultaneously in a single Vizard environment? Will we have to override some functions within Vizard?

What kind of HMDs are being used? Are you running off a single machine or two machines? Will the users be able to see each other represented as avatars?

We are using two Oculus Rifts (DK2) on a single machine and the users will be able to see each others' avatars within the environment. Thanks for the help!

Actually, would you recommend using a single or two machines? We are trying to have two, immersed participants collaborate with each other within a single environment in order to accomplish a given task.

Take a look at the networking (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#Networking_Basics.htm) section of the Vizard Help and the networking tutorial (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#Tutorial__Network_communication.htm). This setup would work well with two machines on a local network.
