Main Menu

The options available within the 3-line menu differ depending on whether a user is logged in to VR.World via the app or not:

1. Log in/Log out

Users may log into VR.World using the "Log in" menu item - once logged in, this will change to "Log out", where users may revert to not logged in status.

There isn't currently any functional benefit to logging into the app, however this will be used going forward to access captures held in VR.World amongst other things.

An internet connection is required in order to log in to VR.World via the mobile app - this option will not function when the mobile device is connected directly to the iSTAR Pulsar device.

2. Profile

Appears only when a user is logged into the mobile app, allowing users to view their profile information.  Again, there isn't currently any functional benefit to this feature, but it will be used in future iterations of the app.

3. Network Connection

Users may frequently use this option, it is used to register Wi-Fi networks with iSTAR Pulsar for the purpose of uploading data and updating firmware - further details on using this option may be found in this article.

4. Support

Allows users to directly access this Help Center from within the mobile app, where they may browse all support materials and manage their support requests.  A user's mobile device must have an internet connection to be able to access the support interface.

5. Settings

Devices

Users may manage connections to multiple iSTAR Pulsar devices here.  This would only likely be required if a user had their mobile device and multiple iSTAR Pulsar units connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and wished to switch between units with the mobile app:

Preferences

Consists of 5 sections - those with a white arrow to the right may be expanded/collapsed as required by tapping on them:

Unit of Distance

Allows users to choose whether to display distances within the app in miles or in kilometers by tapping the toggle switch to the right:

Data Transfer

This option is only active when connected to an iSTAR Pulsar+ unit.  Consists of two settings, both modified via toggle switch:

Copy to USB-C: Allows users enable or disable the facility to copy capture data to a connected external drive.

Upload to VR.World: Users may enable or disable the facility to upload data from iSTAR Pulsar to VR.World via Wi-Fi connection.

Auto Segmentation

Allows users to have longer routes segmented into smaller, more manageable captures.  Default settings is 10 minutes, when selected this means that a single uninterrupted capture will be split up into separate capture IDs every 10 minutes.  Alternatively users may via the drop down menu either lengthen this or turn it off entirely:

Capture Preset

Users may select from 4 preset and 2 customisable capture modes via this dropdown menu:

See this article for more detailed information on using Capture Presets.

Capture Rate

Allows users to configure iSTAR Pulsar to capture at a custom rate, either time or distance based (these options are only available when using "Custom Outdoor" or "Custom Indoor" modes:

See this article for more information on configuring rate of capture.

6. Logout

Only appears if a user is already logged into VR.World via the mobile app.  When selected, logs out the current user.
