About Offline Mode
Spatial Reality engine v10.15.14 and Spatial Control v1.22.0 (or later) can operate in Offline Mode when a connection to the Internet and cloud services is unavailable or intermittent. You can play, stop, switch Scenes and control their volume while offline. A local network connection is still required for communication between Spatial Reality Engine and the Spatial Control app.
The Spatial Control app displays this banner when operating in Offline Mode:

In Offline Mode, the following actions are not available in the Spatial Control app:
- Account administration (Manage)
- Account membership management (People)
- Scene Library access
- Locking/unlocking Spaces
- Any Scenes that are unavailable for playback in Offline Mode will be greyed out.
Making Scenes available for use in Offline Mode
If you are upgrading to Spatial Reality Engine 10.15.14 from version 10.4.13 (or older) and you want to be able to operate in Offline Mode you must first make Scenes available after you upgrade. To do this, follow these steps:
- After you upgrade both Spatial Reality Engine and the Spatial Control app, ensure you remain connected to the Internet and cloud services.
- In the Spatial Control app navigate to your desired Space from the Spaces screen. On the Now Playing screen tap the Scenes button.
- From the list of Scenes added to the Space, tap to load each Scene you wish to make available while offline.
