Offline visualization: Caching

You can now cache your experiences with Speedernet Sphere to view them offline. 

On which devices is caching available?

Caching is available on:

• Computer browsers: Edge, Chrome, Safari
• Mobile browsers: Android (Chrome) and iOS (Safari)
• Stand-alone VR headset browsers: Oculus Quest (Oculus browser)
• Wired VR headset browsers: Edge and Chrome

How to cache an experience?

To activate this feature, you must use HTTPS:// hosting.

When you load an experience in your browser, the pre-download button appears at the bottom of the screen:

• Click on this button to launch the pre-download
• Wait for the message “Pre-download complete”

       

How long does the link stay in the browser cache?

After pre-download, the experience stays available in the browser cache for 90 days. During this period, you can launch the experience offline.

After 90 days, you need to pre-download your expérience again on the browser in order to re-enable offline playback.

Oculus Quest - Oculus Browser

Oculus Browser also lets you add the experience to browser favorites to facilitate local access so as not to enter the URL every time. A favorited link allows for easy access to your resource, even offline.

Wired VR headset

With a wired headset and Chrome and Edge browsers correctly configured, it is possible to use caching for local mode.
