FAQ

A View is the 360° scenery around a place. A Room is its 3D architecture: the floor, walls, windows, desk position, openings, and other geometry you can move within. Locus combines them into an experience.

Virtual Space places you inside a 3D Room while keeping your real desk available for work. Room Portal keeps your real room present and opens one chosen wall onto a View.

Open Mac Virtual Display before entering a Locus virtual environment. If you open Mac Virtual Display after entering the environment, visionOS exits that environment. Connect to your Mac from Control Center first, then enter the Locus place.

Mac Virtual Display normally does not remain available inside immersive apps. Apple provides a developer setting that can allow it: pair Apple Vision Pro with Xcode, enable Developer Mode, restart the headset, then enable Settings → Developer → Allow Mac Virtual Display.

visionOS—not Locus—creates and controls the Mac window. Locus works normally without Developer Mode or Mac Virtual Display. See the complete Mac Virtual Display guide for requirements and limitations.

No. Locus lets you open web pages inside your workspace, but it is not a full web browser and does not support passkey sign-in. Use a password or another sign-in method offered by the website.

If you report a sign-in problem, include the website and what happened, but never include a password, passkey, credential, or recovery code.

The current Locus browser does not save downloaded files. When a download has a safe public URL, Locus can offer it to the system browser or another app; you may need to sign in or start the download again there. Your current Locus environment and tabs remain available when you return.

Import a View as one complete 2:1 equirectangular JPEG, PNG, or HEIC image from Photos, Files, or a direct public HTTPS URL. Import a Room from Files or a direct public HTTPS URL as a .locusplace or ordinary .zip archive containing at least one Room. See the authoring guide for the package layout.

Use one complete 360° equirectangular image in JPEG, PNG, or HEIC format. Its displayed width must be exactly twice its height. A recommended size is 12,288 × 6,144.

Keep the horizon level. Put the direction you want to face first at the horizontal center of the image; the 360° seam belongs at the far left and right edges. Inspect that seam at full size for jumps in architecture, lighting, sky, or texture before importing. Locus normalizes the image and prepares its preview and Room lighting locally.

Model the architecture in Blender at real-world meter scale with +Y up, self-contained materials, and sensible geometry. Export a USDZ, then describe its seated origin, safe head volume, destination openings, collision behavior, and quality measurements in a Locus Room package. Run the public packer and validator before choosing Import a Room.

You can build it by hand, or ask an AI agent connected to Blender through Blender MCP to create and iterate on the house with you. The agent can speed up modeling, material work, checks, and export. Review the final scale, seating, openings, comfort, and performance, then package it with the same validator.

Start with the Room authoring guide and examples.

Everyone can use Locus's built-in library and keep one custom View and one custom Room. The one-time More Imports unlock gives you unlimited imports of your own Views and Rooms permanently. An active Supporter subscription gives you unlimited custom imports and access to the Supporter place packs currently available.

Supporter gives you unlimited custom imports while the subscription is active and access to the Supporter place packs currently available.

Installed content is not deleted when a subscription ends. New imports above the included allowance and re-downloading a removed Supporter pack require active access. If you only want unlimited imports of your own Views and Rooms, choose the one-time More Imports option. Prices and purchase terms appear in Locus before you buy.

Locus uses your room information on Apple Vision Pro and does not upload it. Imported Places are stored in Locus on the device. Websites may save cookies and other data in the Locus browser; you can clear your history and website data in Settings. Read the privacy notice for details.

Copy the version details from Settings → About Locus, add your visionOS version, and say what you expected, what happened, and the shortest steps that make it happen again. Do not put room images, credentials, recovery codes, receipts, order details, account information, notifications, or device identifiers in a public issue. Use Support to choose a public or private route.
