Memory| 16GB or larger
Storage| SSD
OS| Windows10(６４bit) / Windows11

Compatible Spatial Reality Display models

The plugin can be used with the following SR Display models.

• ELF-SR1

The plugin can be used with these Maya versions

The plugin is compatible with the following versions of Autodesk Maya.

• Maya 2020
• Maya 2023
• Maya 2022
• Maya 2024

Setup procedure

Installation procedure

Run SRDforPreviewMaya-ｘ.ｘ.ｘ.xxxxx.msi in a computer environment with a compatible version of Autodesk Maya installed. (The “ｘ.ｘ.ｘ.xxxxx” varies depending on the version of the plugin to be installed.) Please accept the terms of agreement to install.

Notes

• Log in with an administrator account to perform installation.
• The Software License Agreement will be displayed during installation. Make sure to read it and accept the terms of the agreement.

Autodesk Maya settings

Follow the procedure below to load the plugin into Autodesk Maya.

Step 1: Start Autodesk Maya.
Step 2: In the menu tab, select “Windows” → “Settings/Preferences” → “Plug-in Manager” to start Plug-in Manager.
Step 3: In Plug-in Manager, select the “Loaded” checkbox for “SRDViewerPluginMaya.mll”.

Make sure you have 4 viewports open in the Maya editor. You should now see a “SR Display Plugin” in the top menu bar.

Basic screen configuration and operations

Menu
You can select “SR Display Plugin” in the Maya menu tab to open the drop down for plugin-specific actions.

Menu Drop-Down Contents
From the drop down you can see the following actions.

List of functions on the SR Display menu

display guide “Gizmo box”

that indicates the view area of the SR Display.

Delete Gizmo| Deletes the Gizmo.
Spatial Clipping| Restricts the display of objects outside the view area of the SR Display.
Reset to Actual Size| Reset the gizmo size so that its size in maya units is the same as the SR Display’s real-life

dimensions on.

Details of each function

Gizmo Camera
Add a camera to determine the display position of the SR Display. Click “Create Gizmo” to add a gizmo box and associated camera to the viewport. These determine the position and perspective of maya that you see on the SR Display. It is necessary to have one created to see your models on the SR Display.

You should now see a “gizmoCamera1_group” object in the Maya outliner and a rectangular box and camera in the Maya viewport. When you move the camera, the view area also moves accordingly. Moving the camera away from its gizmo box will scale the box up and moving it to the side will rotate it.

Notes: Please select “SR Display Plugin” -> “Delete Gizmo” to delete it before unloading the plugin.

Viewing on SR Display with Render Override

Change any viewport panel’s renderer to Sony SR Display to start displaying content on the SR Display.

How to start
In one of the four viewports, go to the viewport’s menu bar and select “Renderer” -> “Sony SR Display”. That viewport will now render to the SR Display. You can only turn on the SR Display renderer for one viewport panel at a time. A Gizmo is needed to render on the SR Display. If a Gizmo has not been created already, one will be created automatically. If the gizmo is deleted, rendering will automatically turn off.

How to exit
Either turn the renderer back to any other renderer or delete the gizmo.

Reset to Actual Size
Display the model at actual size in SR Display. Gizmo will be created in the size of the working unit you are in: (in meters your gizmo will be very large)

You can reset the gizmo back to its actual dimensions from any unit:

Spatial Clipping
From here you can clip 3D objects so that any parts that extend beyond a certain amount in front of the view area of the SR Display are not shown. To activate Spatial Clipping please choose the item from the menu drop-down. This tear off menu will then appear.

Clipping at 100% will clip exactly at the front edge of the SR Display Gizmo view space, clipping at 150% will allow the objects to pop out slightly beyond that.

Notes

Visual Discomfort Notice: Make sure to read this information, as it is important for the user’s health. When objects are positioned outside the view area of the SR Display, the user may experience discomfort or adverse health effects. In general, position the objects so that they do not extend beyond the view area of the SR Display, or use this function to clip and hide the parts that protrude.

UI/Animation Settings
Joints, Locators, Manipulators, Grid, Pivots and Cameras will not be visible in the SR Display by default. To turn on joints and locators, please go to the overridden viewport and select “Show” – > “Viewport” -> “Rigging & Animation”.

The animation set for a scene can be displayed in the SR Display. In order to see animation on the SR Display, please make sure to change your time slider settings to update view on all viewports.

• khronos_int16_t signed 16 bit
• khronos_uint16_t unsigned 16 bit
• khronos_int32_t signed 32 bit
