I've got 8 Quest 2s and 1 Quest 3. I haven't had issues connecting them to our wifi network until this week. The Quest 3 still connects but none of the Quest 2s connect. Our IT team did lots of troubleshooting and couldn't fix it. One theory is that Meta might have pushed out some updates recently that ...

Hi Amanda, Thanks for your note. I'll keep you posted. Since it is a 7 week course we'll probably try both. A week or two with mobile based 3D scanning and then a few weeks with Gravity Sketch. I learned today that Gravity Sketch has an iPad app so I'm thinking that could be a good entry point for ...

Hi Chris, Thanks for your email. I like the idea of placing the objects in Spatial to create a virtual gallery! I'll check out Scaniverse. Was there any reason that you picked that over other 3D scanning apps such as Polycam? Thanks again, Hedrick -- Hedrick EllisCoordinator of Instructional ...

Yes. In fact I downloaded it this week. The interface seems to be centered on launching 3D AR content. Maybe it can do what I want, but it's not clear from just poking around in the software and their community forums. Have you created something like this with Aero? -- Hedrick EllisCoordinator of ...
