Getting started with Rhino to VR

Use this to prepare, upload, and view your Rhino model in VR using Sentio VR.

To view a Rhino model in Meta Quest (2, 3, Pro, or 3S), you need to first export the 3D model from Rhino and upload it to the SENTIO VR platform. Once uploaded, you can easily access and view the model in VR using your Meta Quest headset. This guide will walk you through the steps to prepare and experience your Rhino model in virtual reality

What you need

Rhino (compatible versions)
Sentio VR account
Sentio VR plugin for Rhino
Compatible Meta Quest headset (or supported VR headset)
Internet connection

Steps

Install the Sentio VR plugin for Rhino

Download Sentio VR Rhino plugin. Close Rhino before installing if required.
Open Rhino software
Go to Tools > Options > Plug-ins
Delete the existing Sentio VR plugin folder (if exist)
Extract the new version to any folder
Go to Tools > Options > Plug-ins > click Install > select SENTIO plugin folder

Launch Rhino, then open your Rhino model
Upload the model to Sentio VR

open the plugin and sign in with your Sentio VR credentials. If you don’t have an account, create one. Using the plugin, export and upload your model (geometry, materials, textures) to Sentio’s cloud. Wait for upload to complete. Time depends on model complexity and internet speed.
Get your access code

After upload finishes, note the unique code (often a 6‑digit or alphanumeric code) that Sentio VR assigns. You’ll use this in the VR headset to access the model.
Put on your Meta Quest (or supported headset)
Open the Sentio VR app, enter the access code.
First view might be a “Dollhouse” view: whole model visible, to get orientation.
Then enter the full‑scale walkthrough to experience the model in 1:1 size.
Explore your model, walk around, check materials, textures, spatial scale.
