Explore at any scale.
Walk around a full-size product or change your size within the scene. User scaling brings a small component closer and makes a large assembly easier to explore.

Take your prepared KeyShot scene into virtual reality. Walk around the product, explore its appearance and bring other people into the same design conversation.
Explore VR featuresFrom Studio to VRYour Studio scene.
Your Studio scene.
A different way to review it.
Create the visual experience in Studio, then open the saved scene in VR. The same product becomes something your team can walk around and examine together.
Prepare in Studio
Import geometry, develop materials and lighting, and save the alternatives you want to compare. Studio VR opens saved BIP and KSP scenes.
Open in VR
Launch from Studio’s VR toolbar button, or load the scene directly in Studio VR. Connect your headset and controllers to the Windows PC.
Explore the product
Move around the scene, examine details and switch between authored choices. Bring a focused question: how does the product look, feel in scale or sit in its surroundings?

Inside the reviewChange your viewpoint.
Change your viewpoint.
Find the useful detail.
Three ways to make a design conversation more tangible: explore scale, compare appearance and inspect the space between parts.
Compare appearance in context.
Switch saved material and model alternatives, change the environment or return to an authored camera. Evaluate the choices from the same useful viewpoint.
Move, measure and snap.
Move objects to explore their arrangement. Use the measurement tool, units and snapping to inspect dimensions and distances as part of the review.
KeyShot Studio VR ConnectReview together.
Review together.
Explore independently.
Give design, sales and marketing a shared place to discuss the product. Everyone joins the same scene, with the freedom to look from their own position.
Start with the same scene
Distribute the same scene version to each participant before the session, so the group reviews a common product and set of alternatives.
Connect over LAN or VPN
Host a Connect session on the same local network, or arrange a suitable VPN between locations. Each VR participant needs their own compatible PC and headset setup.
Bring the right people in
Explore a design detail with engineering, walk through a product display with sales or agree on presentation choices with marketing—all within the shared session.
What you need to get startedOne Windows PC.
One Windows PC.
A connected headset.
Studio VR runs on the workstation. A compatible headset uses the PC’s active OpenXR runtime to bring that scene into view.
- Windows PC
- OpenXR runtime
- Compatible headset
Recommended PC
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or later
- Memory
- 32GB DDR4
- Processor
- Intel Core i7, 9th generation, 8 cores—or equivalent
- Graphics
- NVIDIA RTX 2070 with 8GB VRAM—or equivalent
- Application space
- 800MB
These are KeyShot’s published recommendations. Scene complexity and headset resolution can require more capacity. Use a supported Windows release and allow additional space for scenes and headset software.
Headset connections
- Meta Quest / Rift
- PC OpenXR connection. Quest uses Link or AirLink.
- Pico Neo
- PC connection with Pico Link and SteamVR.
- Valve Index / HTC Vive
- SteamVR set as the active OpenXR runtime.
- Varjo VR / XR / Aero
- Varjo Base with OpenXR enabled.
Check the specific headset model, connection, drivers and its own PC requirements before choosing hardware.
Using a Windows Mixed Reality headset?+
HP Reverb and Lenovo Explorer use a legacy Windows Mixed Reality setup. WMR is absent from Windows 11 24H2 and later; Microsoft’s Windows 11 23H2 Steam support runs through November 2026. Check the existing OS and headset path before upgrading.
Before you step insideA few details.
A few details.
A better prepared review.
Scene compatibility, XR, delivery and licensing.
Does every Studio feature transfer into VR?+
Studio Configurator, Studios and Fade animation are not supported. Material and lighting representation can differ from Studio; baking can improve certain material effects. Test a representative scene with the effects and animation your review needs.
Can I use passthrough with XR mode?+
XR mode needs compatible XR-capable hardware and the appropriate PC connection and runtime. Passthrough support differs between devices, so confirm the intended model and software combination. This remains a PC-based Studio VR workflow.
Is Studio VR the same as KeyShot 360° or Studio Web?+
They serve different viewing situations. Studio VR is for immersive exploration with a compatible PC and headset. Studio Web brings presentations to a browser, including interactive scene viewing and prepared rendered-frame 360/XR output. Choose the delivery around how your audience will view the product.
Is Studio VR included with a Studio subscription?+
Studio VR is separately licensed. Match the number of participants and the intended immersive or shared-review workflow to the licenses and hardware your team needs. A Studio subscription alone does not establish VR access.
