<p style="text-align: left;">Acadicus uses the power of a Windows 10/11 PC processor and graphics card to provide the highest fidelity in 3d graphics and to support advanced capabilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The PC you choose must be compatible with your chosen VR headset (see list below).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note that often vendors will provide minimum specifications. Typically, the more recent the processor and graphics card, the better the experience and performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b data-stringify-type="bold">PC VR Headset Vendors:</b><br />Recommended: <a href="https://www.meta.com/en-gb/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/oculus-link/requirements-quest-link/">Meta Quest headsets</a> (Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest Pro)<br /><a href="https://www.vive.com/us/vive-ready/">HTC Vive</a> headsets (Pro2, Elite XR, Focus 3)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Optional Turnkey VR Hardware Offering:</b><br />If you need assistance buying and supporting your VR hardware, we&#8217;ve partnered with <a href="https://rebootimagine.com/">Reboot Imagine</a>, a trusted hardware vendor that can handle everything needed to get your VR Lab started, including purchasing, delivery, setup, installation, and support.  Ask us how we can help ensure your VR equipment is configured properly and is ready to go for every class.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Non-VR Mode</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Like any other Windows application, Acadicus can be used on your desktop or laptop computer, without a VR headset. Running Acadicus in Non-VR mode can be done on most Windows systems.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Minimum configuration:</strong><br />CPU 2~ Ghz (2 cores+), 4 GB RAM, 2 GB video card, 250 MB hard drive, DirectX 11, x64 Windows 10, 17 inch monitor</p>
<p><strong>Recommended Configuration:</strong><br />CPU 2.5 Ghz (4 cores or greater), 8 GB RAM, 4 GB video card, 1 GB hard drive, DirectX 12, x64 Windows 11, 21 inch or larger monitor, external keyboard and mouse for laptops</p>
<p>Hardware Requirements for VR and Non-VR modes for Acadicus are very different. Any VR-Mode ready computer will run Acadicus in Non-VR mode. However, a computer meeting only the Non-VR mode requirements WILL NOT run Acadicus in VR mode unless it also meets VR mode requirements listed separately.</p></div>
