Frequently asked questions

Can I get more than 2GB of storage on the free Community plan?

Yes! Simply send a request to support@paneovr.de to upgrade to Community+ and receive 10GB of storage free of charge.

Do I need to export the scenario I created, or will I receive an app/APK that I have to install separately?

No, you do not need to export the scenario separately. All scenarios you create can be used directly through the universal PaneoVR Player App for the relevant platform. You can install the Player App on the device, usually from an app store for handheld devices or VR headsets, and use it to access all scenarios. All available versions of the PaneoVR App are listed here: https://paneovr.net/download/

Where is my data stored?

Media uploaded to the Paneo Online Editor is protected from unauthorized access and stored on a dedicated server in Germany. Dedicated means that PaneoVR runs on its own machine without sharing storage with other providers. All data traffic remains within the country unless users initiate it otherwise.

How can I provide feedback to learners in scenarios?

In principle, you can build any type of feedback into a scenario, whether as text, audio, or video. There are also “end nodes” that indicate failure or success in a teaching context, including a customizable message. These can either end the scenario or offer the option to repeat the previous step.

In addition, the Pro version of PaneoVR includes an analytics tool that learners and creators can use afterward to review metrics such as “How many errors were made?”, “How long did it take?”, and “Where did the most uncertainty occur?” It can also provide a detailed list of the exact training sequence, with timestamps showing what was done and when.

Are there sample scenarios I can use for testing?

The first scenarios created by the practice partners in the ViRDiPA project can be used freely for demonstration or real-world applications. You only need to create a PaneoVR account. This page lists all project scenarios, along with an access link and instructions: https://paneovr.net/beispiele/

Are future updates included with the unlimited "one-time purchase" license?

Yes, the unlimited Pro licenses also include all future PaneoVR updates.

Are there materials and projects from other institutions that I can use?

More information about PaneoNet will be released during 2026. It will be an exchange platform where scenarios created by institutions and individuals can be made publicly available either free of charge or for a fee.

Is PaneoVR used exclusively in nursing?

No – PaneoVR has its roots in the ViRDiPA project, which focused on integrating virtual reality into nursing education. As a result, much of the public content is still oriented toward nursing, and the field remains an important part of the Paneo network. Even so, the tool's capabilities now extend far beyond nursing to health care more broadly, general and vocational education, skilled trades, logistics, and much more. As a tool for creating the precise VR simulations you need, it places no limits on subject matter or field.
