Reference Images

Introduction

You might want to bring some images as references or inspiration to your space when creating. You can do this by uploading them to your headset/LandingPad account or directly from the web with the Web Browser feature.

Import Reference Images

You can import reference images locally through your PC or via LandingPad.

Import Images using PC

Connect your VR headset to your PC and drop JPG/PNG image files into the following directory:

This PC\MTP USB Device\Internal shared storage\Gravity Sketch\Reference Images
