I meet you at BETT show and was extremely impressed with the program and what it allowed you to do. With the changes coming to ICT in the curricullum I thought this could be of great help with many of my lessons. I teach Primary and showed it to the kids and they loved it. I then passed it to my technician. I am in a new post and have an off site technician and no control of my network(don't ask) and he sent me an email back today saying.

Hi,

Just had a look at muvizu but are you sure this is the right piece of software?
If so it won't be any good as it needs 3-4 other software patches to be distributed as well as a high end processor, 2gb RAM and a graphics card to run.

If we were to distribute this out to the PC's at the prep site, because they are RM machines they would have major issues trying to run this and may cause problems or instability


I was wondering is there a minium spec you would advise for machines running this. I may look at getting a few non network stand alones to run it to start with (if I can find money for them). Not sure really but some thoughts would help me.

Thanks

Dave

Welcome to Muvizu.

On our download page we have information about the minimum specs and also information about running Muvizu on other platforms. You can find it here: http://muvizu.com/Download/

Muvizu uses the latest Unreal engine technology, so you will need a decent machine to run it. The graphic cards should support Shader Model 3 and a 2.4 Ghz processor is also needed.
There are several graphic cards that support this shader model, but I would advise against purchasing the lowest specs card, since we are always improving the software and further resources might be needed.

I hope this helps in some way.
Any questions you have feel free to get in touch.

Cheers,
Marco

Yes, because Muvizu is built around the Unreal Engine 3, it does require a reasonably powerful machine to run it. We recommend a minimum of:

  • 2.4 GHz Processor
  • 2.3 Gigabytes of free disk
  • A graphics card capable of shader model 3

Obviously, if you can put it on a better machine then you will get better performance.


I am not sure what the extra patches are being referred to by your technician, but I suspect they are DirectX 9, Microsoft.NET framework, and the C runtime libraries, these are actually included in our installer - so you don't need a separate downloads for them.

I hope that helps, and if you need any more information, please get in touch.
