Viewing on a Meta Quest 3
No app to install and no files to email. Everything runs in the headset's web browser — just open this page.
Open this page
In the Meta Quest 3 browser, go to this page — bookmark it or scan a QR code the instructor shares.
Rotate & zoom in the browser
Drag to orbit and pinch or scroll to zoom. The model holds wherever you leave it, so you can study legs, wings, and mouthparts from any angle.
Place it in your room
Tap the AR button to drop the insect into your space at life size — or many times larger — and walk all the way around it.
Grab & inspect in VR
Tap Inspect in VR to hold the insect in your hands: grab it with the triggers and turn it freely to see every side, even underneath.
