# Installation ## Prepartion The VR-BESO software is developed using both C++ and C# programming languages. The C++ part provides an efficient optimization kernel. The dependencies used in the computational kernel include the MKL PARDISO solver and the Eigen linear algebra library. The C# part relies on Unity3D and Meta Quest SDK to implement a graphical user interface and an interactive system in the VR space. The hardware requirements of VR-BESO include **VR devices** and **a personal computer**. The VR devices include a VR headset with two controllers, facilitating less computationally intensive tasks, such as rendering a virtual environment, observing 3D models, and supporting interactive operations. Due to the limited computational resources of the VR headset, a personal computer is required to deal with computationally demanding tasks, such as executing topology optimization and smoothing the optimal topologies. * VR devices, e.g. Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 etc. * A personal computer (Intel CPU would be better) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://albertlidesign.gitbook.io/vr-beso/vr-beso-a-vr-based-structural-design-tool/installation.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
