HMD Odyssey and the Windows Mixed Reality Portal
Imagine having all the controls you need right before your eyes! That’s what the Mixed Reality Portal app on your Windows 10 PC is for. It offers virtual reality experiences, such as games and live sports, that you can access from the comfort of your home. You will need to use a compatible VR headset, such as the HMD Odyssey, to explore the app.
Set up the Mixed Reality Portal
Note: Available screens may differ depending on the app version.
Like a window to another world, the Mixed Reality Portal lets you experience the wonder of Mixed Reality through VR. You can preview the portal screen on your monitor without wearing the HMD Odyssey headset, or let a friend take a turn using Mixed Reality while you watch the action from your screen.
Refer to the following steps to set up the Mixed Reality Portal on your PC:
When you connect the HMD Odyssey to your PC, the Mixed Reality Portal app will launch automatically. If it doesn’t launch, select Start and then navigate to and select Mixed Reality Portal. You can also use the search bar to find the app.
When the app launches, select Start setup and check your PC in the bottom right corner.
Review the information on the screen, which includes safety precautions, and then select I agree. The app will begin checking your PC to ensure it’s compatible.
Select Next, and then connect or put on your HMD Odyssey headset, if you haven’t already.
Use the icons
Note: You will be able to see the portal screen on the monitor without wearing the HMD Odyssey headset.
The Mixed Reality Portal includes several icons, such as 2D apps and 3D holograms, that will let you perform certain actions. These include adjusting the screen, opening the menu panel, and downloading apps. You can also move these icons or make them larger so they’re easier to see.
Here is a breakdown of all the icons:
| Icons | Specification |
 |
Open or close the menu panel. |
 |
Check the name of the HMD and the connection. |
 |
Check controller settings and connection. |
 |
Open or close the menu tool panel. |
 |
Set the controller or launch the settings app. |
 |
Download apps from the Microsoft Store. |
 |
Turn the preview screen on or off. |
 |
Adjust the preview screen ratio of the Mixed Reality Portal. |
Move the screen
The HMD Odyssey headset will recognize your head and body movements and adjust accordingly when you’re connected to the Mixed Reality Portal. For example, moving your head or the controller in any direction will also move the screen. You can also move the pointer or move your position using the controller’s thumbstick.
Moving the pointer
While wearing the HMD Odyssey, move your head in any direction to move the pointer. Or, use the controller to move the pointer.
Moving your position
The HMD Odyssey recognizes your real movements and responds by moving inside the Mixed Reality Portal. You can also use the thumbstick to get around by pushing it back and forth to move your location. Or, push the thumbstick forward hard to make the controller beam appear. You can teleport to the location where the controller beam is pointing, too.
