Does Solid Edge support the use of Virtual Reality (VR) headsets?

Solution

Solid Edge currently does not support Virtual Reality (VR) capabilities and currently does not offer any functionality related to publishing to Virtual Reality.

However, the add-on rendering product, KeyShot, does offer and potentially allow for working with VR headsets and Solid Edge generated data.

KeyShot supports and allows for the use of VR headsets. See the KeyShot User Manual on how to set up and use these devices:

However, only KeyShot Pro comes with VR capabilities. The Solid Edge KeyShot does not have this functionality.

There is also a KeyShot VR add-on application called KeyShotXR that does not use a headset but provides 360 degree visualisation of a product which might also be something you could potentially use instead of a VR headset with a VR environment:
