Quick check
SightLab experiments can be set up with a GUI, with code, or a combination of both. This QuickStart is showing how to test starting a quick session with the GUI. This is just for testing functionality, see creating a new scene and the rest of the documentation for more options.
| Quick Start - GUI | Description |
|---|---|
 |
Create Folder: From Documents\SightLab2\Projects make a copy of BlankProject. This includes a sample 3D model and 360 media. To add more assets, place in the resources/environments or resources/media folder. See this page for some places to gather assets. |
 |
Add Assets: To add more assets, place in the resources/environments or resources/media folder. See this page for some places to gather assets. |

If have any existing projects loaded, click "New." Next, name Project and click "Save Project" |
 |
Click Modify to open the Experiment Options editor where you can edit and open your 3D models or 360 media, as well as set up all your individual trial options (start/stop conditions, tracking, etc.) |
 |
Choose a 3D Model or 360 Media Here is where you can also set many more experiment options or click "Edit" to open a model for editing (see creating a new scene). Click "Done" when ready. |

Replay & Review Data: Use SightLabVR_Replay.py for session replay (use Spacebar to start/stop); view data files in the data folder. |
Non-GUI Workflow: For non-GUI see example with code.
Customize Scene/Experiment: Creating a new scene.
Multi-User Setup: Check the multi-user guide for collaborative experiments.
