Stylus:
The stylus is used to control the system enabling six degrees of freedom of motion and
selection through the buttons.
Tracking Cameras:
The tracking cameras are necessary for the stylus and tracking to work. Please do not block the
cameras.
Integrated Stand:
The stand works by adjusting the angle then pulling it down to lock it in place. To release, push
it upwards from the base, then readjust to any of the preset angles (30°, 45°, 60°).

How zSpace works
zSpace has many features to enable a compelling user experience.
Head tracked stereoscopic display
The head tracked display enables the left and right images of the display to focu on your eyes
wherever they move within the tracking zone. This capability ensures a comfortable virtual
experience.
Stylus Interaction
The tracking cameras enable the stylus to interact with virtual items anywhere within the
tracking zone.

Application Graphics Requirements
Independent of GPU and CPU capabilities some applications are certified on only certain brands
of graphics cards due to testing constraints.
Known application restrictions:
Nvidia Quadro only:
EON Software
Nvidia Quadro and AMD FirePro only:

Monitor stands
zSpace 200 is built with an integrated stand that supports 30, 45 and 60 degree viewing angles.
In addition, zSpace includes a 100*100 mm VESA mount that allows for attachment to a
monitor stand. This allows for zSpace to be mounted to a flexible monitor arm or stand that can
support any angle.
Be sure your monitor stand can support the weight of the zSpace display, as it is slightly
heavier than a conventional monitor of the same diagonal width (24”). The zSpace display
weighs 8.8 kg (17 lbs). The addition of a zView armature may also impact weight or angle, so
be sure to verify stability when using peripherals.
Using an arm or flexible mount allows
for the optimal positioning of zSpace.
This also allows for the easy transition
between 2D and 3D operation. A mount
at 90° might be preferred for 2D and an
angle of 55° might be preferred for 3D
usage. zSpace applications are typically
angle aware and will adjust the display
according to an angle between 0 and
90°.
The viewing
angle may also
be adjusted for
optimal user
height.
