Quick Guide: Getting started with TrueSim

Step 1: Create your TrueSim account

Start on your computer or phone. Don’t use the headset yet.

1. Go to http://train.truesim.com
2. Enter your email address.
3. You’ll receive a one-time password by email. Enter it.
4. You’re now logged in to your TrueSim account.

Your personal dashboard shows the six-digit code you’ll use to log in to the XR app. Your training results will also appear here later.

Keep the six-digit code handy: you’ll need it in step 3.

Step 2: Set up the Meta Quest

Turning on and putting on the headset

1. Press and hold the power button on the left side of the headset for about three seconds. Release it when you hear a chime and the Meta logo appears.
2. Put on the headset and adjust the head strap. The headset should sit firmly on your head, you should be looking straight into the lenses, and the image should be sharp.

Creating a new boundary

1. Go to Quick Settings, then Boundary, and choose Create new boundary.
2. Always choose a custom boundary at room scale.
3. The headset first sets the floor level.
4. Next, draw the boundary yourself. Use your index finger and thumb to move the cursor you see on the floor.
5. When the whole area inside the boundary turns blue, the boundary is properly closed and you can confirm it.

Tips for a good boundary

Make the boundary as large as possible, with plenty of space around the setting where you’ll train. You need at least 3 by 3 meters (about 10 by 10 feet), ideally more. You can also draw the boundary outside the walls.

Draw quickly. One large circle is fine, even straight through objects. If you draw slowly and carefully, the boundary often gets interrupted because the headset detects obstacles in the way.

Casting the view (optional)

1. Go to Quick Settings, choose Cast, then choose Web.
2. You’ll get a six-character code.
3. On the computer you want to cast to, open a browser and go to https://horizon.meta.com/casting/
4. Enter the six-character code there. Casting starts.

Step 3: Start TrueSim

1. Launch TrueSim and wait for the first loading screen to appear.
2. Enter your six-digit code. You’ll find it in your TrueSim account at http://train.truesim.com.
3. After logging in, choose New session.
4. Calibrate the setting: grab the orange handle and move the setting to where you want to train.
5. Set the patient’s height right away. For example, adjust it so the patient lies properly on the real hospital bed.
6. When everything is in place, choose All set. You’ll now see the training setting, still without a patient.

The menu options are always available on the context display above the crash cart. You can start a case from here. If this is your first time, follow the pre-briefing first and then the tutorial. After that, you’re ready to start the cases.
