OcuViz is a platform for the visualisation of data in a virtual 3D space to allow users to conceptualise large numbers more accurately and naturally. Leveraging the power of VR we are able to create awe-inspiring and immersive scenes for users to experience. As well as, allowing users to create their own scenes through either modular CSV files which are interpreted into 3D scenes or a simplified editor without requiring the user having to be a graphics experts.
Ensure you meet the minimum hardware requirements and have installed the necessary software. Setup your hardware. Then simply download and extract the zip file to your computer and run the OcuViz.exe.

Oculus Rift is not displaying an image while running OcuViz.exe
Check the Oculus Rift Headset for an orange light. If this is the case, restart the Rift Runtime software. If after restarting the Rift still has an orange light, simply turn the headset off and on again. You should now see a blue light.
Why is Leap Motion's tracking is poor?
Firstly open Leap Motion controll panel and head to the Troubleshooting tab. It should show all green on the right hand side. It will show whether your Leap Motion controller is properly powered, clean sensor and what the tracking conditions are like. Please note if Leap Motion is connect via USB 2.0 instead of 3.0 there will be a degredation in preformance.
