Installation - How do I launch an Ocavu Experience via a URL?

Ocavu provides two primary methods of using a URL to launch an experience.

The first has no requirement beyond a published model within your Ocavu Portal account:

  1. Navigate to portal.ocavu.com and log into your account
  2. Right-click a model and click Share
  3. Copy the View Link and add it to your website, email, or SMS

The second method requires the Ocavu Web SDK installed on your website

  1. Install the Ocavu SDK on your website
  2. Copy the desired model key from within Ocavu Portal
  3. Add the special query parameter ocavu-key to a URL that points to a page on your website where the Ocavu SDK is installed

For example, the Ocavu website has the Web SDK installed on our demo page:

https://ocavu.com/demo/

To automatically launch the chair model (which has an ocavu key of "Chair") the query parameter is added like this:

https://ocavu.com/demo/?ocavu-key=Chair

Which method is better? Method 2 is ideal, because it keeps your users on your website, but Method 1 requires less setup.
