Updating to Embodied Labs 4.0

Embodied Labs 4.0 is here! These are the required steps to install:

Download, Install, & Configure Brave Web Browser

Please follow the instructions below to download and install the Brave web browser. This step is necessary for VR. Web Immersive labs are still functional on all browsers.

Click here or go to “Brave.com” to go to the Brave website. Once there, you’ll select “Download Now” on the center of the page. This will download the installer.
Once the download has finished, double-click the download to run the installer. A white box will appear for a short time showing the steps of its install, and once it’s completed, the Brave web browser will open.
On the new browser window that has opened, navigate to app.embodiedlabs.com.
1. When you see the login screen, sign into your account.
2. Once logged in, you’ll select the “red lion/shield” icon up by the address bar (pictured below).
3. On the little window that appears, where it says “Shields are UP,” click on the toggle so it says “Shields are DOWN.”
Once that is set, we’ll now go in and select a Story Lab and do the same thing.
1. On the Embodied Labs page, select “Launch Online Labs.”
2. Choose any Story Lab, then choose any module, and proceed through the slides until you reach a button that says “Start Experience.” Click on “Start Experience.”
3. Once you see the “Start” button, there is no need to start the lab. Go back up to the “red lion/shield” icon by the address bar, and once again click on the toggle to change from “Shields are UP” to “Shields are DOWN” for cache.app.embodiedlabs.com.

You can close the browser after this has been set.

Download & Install the Update

Please follow the instructions below to download and install the latest version of Embodied Labs.

Click here to download the new installer.
The file will download in a Zip folder. Right-click it and select “Extract All.” This will create a new folder in the same location that contains the installer.
Right-click the installer from that new folder and select “Run as administrator.”
You may see the following prompts.

If you see the “Windows Protected your PC” prompt, select “More Info” and “Run anyway.”

b. If you see the prompt “You must install .NET Desktop Runtime to run this application,” select “Yes” and a browser window will open to the download page. The download should automatically begin. If not, choose “click here to download manually.”

Open the installer for .NET Desktop Runtime that you just downloaded. Click “Install” and continue the screens with the default options.

Once .Net Desktop Runtime is installed, go back to Step 3 and try running the Embodied Labs installer once again by right-clicking on it and choosing “Run as administrator.”

Next, the Leap Motion's uninstaller will appear. Ensure that the "Remove Apps" box is selected, click "Uninstall," allow the progress bar to complete, and then click "Finish.”

The following window will be the “Ultraleap” installer. Select “I Accept the Agreement” before choosing “Next.”
Go through the UltraLeap steps, leaving everything default until you see the installation has begun and is complete. Once done, select “Finish.”
The rest of the Embodied Labs install is silent, and you’ll know it’s finished when your browser opens to app.embodiedlabs.com. In addition, once expanded, the system tray in the bottom-right corner by the clock shows an Embodied Labs logo and the new Ultraleap icon (pictured below).

You may see the following prompt. For the “Windows Defender Firewall“ prompts, select “Allow access.”
Now that the Embodied Labs and Ultraleap installations are complete, please proceed to the next step to verify that your Ultraleap setup is properly configured.

Ultraleap Orientation Change

The following are instructions for changing the device orientation, if you have a Leap Motion Controller 1. This is a required step for the new Embodied Labs update to function correctly with hand controls. Please plugin your headset for this step.

Locate the Ultraleap icon in your system tray (taskbar by the clock): click the Upwards-pointing Arrow (^) to expand more icons in the tray, and find the icon (as depicted in the image below framed in the red square). Double-click this icon.
1. Alternatively: If you cannot locate the Ultraleap icon in your system tray, you can click on your Windows Start menu in the bottom-left corner of the screen and start typing “Ultraleap.” Select the app “Ultraleap Tracking” that shows up on the list.

On the new window that opens, locate the setting called “Device Orientation” and change it from “Normal” to “Inverted.”

Giving Brave Permission to Access Headset & Microphone

Please follow the instructions below to give Brave Browser the permission to use your VR headset and Microphone. Please have your headset connected for this step.

If the browser isn’t already open, select your Embodied Labs desktop icon to open it and sign into your account. Then, on the green bar at the top of the page select “Launch Online Labs”.
Once you’re on the lab selection screen, select any lab and any module, and go through the steps until you have the option to “Start Experience”.
1. You’ll then see the “Instructions” box, and if your headset is connected you’ll have 2 options, “360” and “VR”.
2. Select “VR”.
3. Allow the loading screen to finish, then select “Start”.
4. Then, before putting on the headset, your browser should prompt you for permissions to use your VR headset. On that little window will be a drop down menu for “Remember my decision”, select that and change it to “forever” and then hit “Allow”.
For Microphone, this will be the same steps but, it won’t prompt until the segment in Beatriz that asks you to read text aloud.
You’ve now completed the installation and configuration of the new Embodied Labs update!
