Exploring the Title Screen

The AltspaceVR Title Screen is your primary starting point for exploring the platform. From here, you can do things like login, explore the Main Menu, enter an event with a code, customize your avatar, and more. Below is an overview of the Title Screen and its functions.

Tutorial Features & login

If it's your first time launching AltspaceVR, you'll start your journey as a guest user. A guest user is a temporary identity that is granted to allow you to explore at your own pace before logging in to your AltspaceVR account. For new VR users that want to practice the basics before jumping into the action, try out our tutorials. You can skip the tutorial and sign in if you feel comfortable jumping directly into AltspaceVR.

As a guest you can also explore the Main Menu and view the events calendar, but you can't yet enter events. Account sign-in is required to navigate beyond the Title Screen. To continue, log in to your AltspaceVR account by selecting the Sign In option.

If your AltspaceVR account is linked to your Microsoft Account, select the Sign-in with Microsoft option. If you don't have a Microsoft-linked account, select the Sign-in with AltspaceVR option. You can find step-by-step account linking instructions here: Linking Your Microsoft Account.

Destinations

The green Destinations button on the left is where you'll find things like AltspaceVR Hubs, your Homespace, upcoming Spotlight Events, or any events you've recently attended. You'll also find events that your friends may currently be in. The Destinations panel makes navigating to key places quick and simple.

Entry Code

In AltspaceVR Entry Codes are alphanumerical codes that allow for streamlined event entry. You can find an Entry Code by using the Share button on the event page in VR. You can also locate it just above the social-share icons in the event page on altvr.com.

If you have the code for the event you’d like to attend, enter it into the Title Screen and teleport directly to your destination.

Other Functions

The final few functions available in the Title Screen are Account Main Menu and Exit. These options mimic the ones found in your radial HUD menu when you are in Events, Hubs, Worlds, or your Homespace.

The Account section gives you several options related to your AltspaceVR account. Here you can review your credentials, connect your AltspaceVR account to a Microsoft Account (or AAD for enterprise users), switch to another account, or sign out of your current account.

The Main Menu option in the Title Screen is exactly the same as the Main Menu that you access using your radial HUD elsewhere. Here, you can browse through the tabs for the following features:

• Discovering Hubs
• Exploring the events calendar
• Browsing worlds
• Managing your friends list
• Viewing your account details
• Accessing your settings.

The Exit button is useful for closing the AltspaceVR app. By selecting this option, you're choosing to shut down AltspaceVR entirely. Once you confirm the exit dialogue, the app will close itself automatically.
