Autodesk VRED initial settings and suggestions
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
A Windows workstation with Autodesk VRED installed
An Apple Vision Pro headset on the same local network as the workstation
Access to Apple TestFlight on the Apple Vision Pro
A TestFlight invitation from Innoactive (contact Innoactive if you don't have one)
Step 1: Download the Innoactive Spatial Runtime Installer
Download the latest Innoactive Spatial Runtime installer from the official hosting page:
https://spatial-runtime.innoactive.io
This installer contains the Spatial Runtime service and the VRED plugin required for streaming.
Step 2: Install the Spatial Runtime and VRED Plugin
Run the installer on your Windows workstation. During installation:
Install the Innoactive Spatial Runtime service
Install the VRED Plugin — select the VRED version(s) you want to use for streaming
The installer will guide you through both components. Make sure to install the plugin for every VRED version you intend to test with.
Step 3: Configure VRED for Spatial Streaming
Once the Spatial Runtime and plugin are installed, open Autodesk VRED and configure it for streaming:
Look for the Innoactive button in the VRED toolbar — it is located next to the existing XR button
Click the Innoactive button to open the Innoactive plugin panel
The plugin will perform a status check and flag any configuration issues
Resolve all reported issues — the one hard requirement is that the VRED Web Interface must be enabled
Enabling the VRED Web Interface
If the Web Interface is not already enabled, the Innoactive plugin will flag this. Enable it through VRED's settings to allow the Spatial Runtime to communicate with VRED.
Step 4: Install the App on Apple Vision Pro
Innoactive Spatial app is distributed via Apple TestFlight:
Ensure TestFlight is installed on your Apple Vision Pro
Open the TestFlight invitation link provided by Innoactive — if you don't have a link, contact Innoactive support@innoactive.de to request access
Accept the invitation and install Innoactive Spatial on Apple Vision Pro
Step 5: Connect and Start Streaming
With VRED running on your workstation and the Spatial Runtime active:
Launch the Innoactive Spatial app on the Apple Vision Pro
The app will automatically discover available VRED workstations on the local network
Select your VRED workstation from the discovered devices list
The connection will be established and VRED will begin streaming to the Apple Vision Pro
Troubleshooting
Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
Workstation not discovered | Ensure both devices are on the same local network and that no firewall is blocking local network discovery |
Innoactive button not visible in VRED | Verify the VRED plugin was installed for the correct VRED version |
Plugin reports issues | Click the Innoactive button and follow the on-screen guidance to resolve each flagged issue |
VRED Web Interface not enabled | Enable it via VRED's configuration — this is a hard requirement for streaming |
