Supported Platforms and Requirements

  • Platforms

    • macOS native: Apple Silicon or Intel Mac with macOS 14.0+.

    • Windows native: Planned; Windows 10/11 64-bit (availability under evaluation)

    • Web on Desktop: Modern desktop browser with WebAssembly support. Use a recent version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari on macOS, Windows or Linux.

      • Web on Mobile is not officially supported, mainly due to limited screen space and keyboard constraints. While the app can load if the user requests the desktop version on a mobile device, we recommend using it in read-only mode only. Note that the current version requires a keyboard with at least a Shift key (to rotate a sign face) and a Space key (for panning).

    • Tablets: Considered for future support, not available yet.

    • Smartphones: Will not be supported due to limited screen size.

  • Hardware: A discrete GPU is optional but highly recommended.

  • Internet: Required for authentication and licensing.

  • Account: A valid VLANSCO Techlabs user account. You can create one on the VLANSCO website.
