Do I need a computer to run BodyMap, or can it run directly on a Meta Quest headset?

You do not need a computer to use BodyMap. While we offer a PC-based "Pro" version for high-fidelity instructor stations, the BodyMap Standalone Edition is specifically designed to run natively on standalone VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest 2, and Quest Pro.

In Standalone mode, the software is downloaded directly onto the headset from the Meta App Lab. It operates entirely on the headset's internal processor, requiring no cables, external sensors, or tethered PCs. This standalone setup is highly recommended for budget-constrained institutions or schools looking to scale their VR programs, as it allows students to easily access medical-grade anatomy models, participate in multiplayer VR classrooms, and complete assignments anywhere with a simple Wi-Fi connection.
