www.Landingpad.me is accessible through smartphones, digital pads, and computers. It is necessary to sign up in Landingpad to access Gravity Sketch. The landing pad website can be thought of as a digital locker for your VR creations.
You will also use this website to create new artwork, upload reference images, download your work to use in other digital programs, and to down load files to send to 3D printers.
This site is also necessary to send and receive invites to collaborate with other VR users in a Gravity Sketch VR room/environment. This is how you and the instructor will meet in VR to sculpt.

VR Safety
- Use your VR headset only indoors.
- Make sure you have space around you so you do not hit furniture the ceiling or windows.
- When using a tether make sure the cable is running behind you and you're near your computer
so you do not pull the cord out.
- For longer sessions in VR sessions it is suggested to sit.
- For standing in VR. Follow your headset manufacturers set up instructions. Clear an area in your
physical workspace to walk around in and move your arms without hitting
furniture, your ceiling, or any windows.
​
- For beginners in VR you should take frequent breaks to not strain your eyes while you're
getting used to being in VR.
- Set your inter pupillary distance correctly.
​
- Spend time adjusting the VR headset head straps to fit you comfortably.
​
- VR headsets with a refresh rate of 90 Hertz or higher will help avoid motion sickness.

skip while wearing it.
