Introduction
With zView, you can share the zSpace experience with others. Normally, only the person at the zSpace display
can see the application in stereoscopic 3D. While your zSpace system may include non-tracked eyewear for
observers, the display is based on the user’s head position. With zView you can share the experience with a
large audience, without additional eyewear. zView projects the user’s session onto a second display, such as a
projection screen or a second monitor. You can use zView to display the application in real time or record the
zSpace session for later sharing.
zView Modes
zView provides two different modes:
Augmented Reality View shows the application from a fixed viewpoint, without head tracking. This
mode requires a camera. Everything in the camera’s frame, including the user, is shown.

Standard View shows the application with head tracking. This is useful if you want to demonstrate how
the application adjusts the viewpoint as the user’s head moves. In this case, you do not need a camera.
Standard View
zView Requirements
The following are the minimum requirements for Standard View:
zSpace System Software
ozSpace 100: Version 3.x
ozSpace 200: Version 4.0 or later
zView-enabled application
A second display for the zView application window
For Augmented Reality View, you will also need:
A webcam that supports HD resolutions (1080x720 or 1920x1080)
A zSpace camera mount or a tripod
You can purchase a zView kit from zSpace, which includes the zView software, a webcam, and a zSpace camera
mount for attaching the webcam to the zSpace display. If you already have the zView software, you can
purchase the webcam and camera mount separately as well. We have tested zView with Logitech C910 and
C920 webcams.

connection as required by the second display.
1. In the Windows Control Panel, select Display.
2. Choose Adjust Resolution.

If the displays are not arranged correctly, click and drag on the window marked (1) or (2) in the Control
Panel.
4. Choose Extend these displays.

Setting up the Camera
If you are using Standard View only, you can skip this step.
Before you set up the camera, position the camera mount. This can be the zSpace camera mount, which
attaches to the zSpace display, or it can be your own tripod. Next, plug the camera into your PC.

Mount Camera
Placing the Tripod
Set the camera on the tripod so that the entire zSpace display screen is visible to the camera. Adjust the tripod
so that you capture as much or as little of the user as you want.
Plugging in the Webcam
Plug the webcam’s USB cable into your PC. Refer to the next section for instructions on adjusting the webcam’s
placement.
Note: On many PCs, the webcam functions best in a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port. If you need help
identifying your USB ports, go to https://support.zspace.com and search the knowledge base for an article on
USB 3.0 ports.

When you first start zView, the Setup Wizard appears. If it does not, select the Tools -> Setup menu option.
