Share a 3D Presentation With Nearby iPads

Share a 3D Presentation with nearby iPads during in-person meetings, no internet required.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Use the VRIFY app to share a 3D Presentation across multiple iPads in the same room, no internet required. This setup is ideal for in-person meetings in locations with unreliable connectivity, like conference room floors or remote mining sites.

One iPad acts as the host, controlling the flow of the presentation, including 3D models, 360° imagery, and annotations. All nearby iPads follow along in real time.

To use this feature, all iPads need to be updated to the latest version of VRIFY.


Preparation

Before starting a meeting, make sure all iPads are prepped in advance to avoid interruptions during your presentation:

  • Update the VRIFY app to the latest version

  • Ensure all iPads are running the latest version of iOS

  • Download the 3D Presentation you plan to share:

    • Check for any recent updates to the 3D Presentation and re-download

  • Click through the 3D Presentation to pre-load all 3D and 360 slides to ensure a smooth presentation experience

  • Prepare Nearby iPads

    • Before starting a meeting, each nearby iPad must:

      • Open the VRIFY app

      • Toggle on Wi-Fi

      • Enable Local Network Access for the VRIFY app

    • Familiarize yourself with the troubleshooting steps in this article.

  4. Add Nearby iPads to the Meeting

    • Once nearby devices appear on your screen, tap the icons to add them to the meeting.

    • Add participants

    • The 3D Presentation will automatically be downloaded to the VRIFY app on each participant’s device. When the participant icon turns white, they’ve successfully joined and can view the 3D Presentation.

Best Practices

  • Ensure all iPads are fully charged before the meeting — switching devices mid-meeting breaks the flow.

  • Before your meeting, test the setup in the location (conference room floor, remote site, etc.) where you'll be presenting to confirm that nearby iPads pair without issues.
