Note that 360° scenes do not have a 3D environment, and AR training does not need an environment because it takes place in the real world.

Standard Assets

Standard assets are supplied objects for functions that are often required in the creation of training courses.

Use standard assets for standard functions, e.g. display text or enable interaction.

The scope of delivery currently includes:

  • Hotspot: The Hotspot is a visible button with customizable icon and caption.
  • Transparent Shape: The Transparent Shape is an invisible button that can be used to trigger actions through attached triggers.
  • Text: Text is a standard asset for displaying textual content.

Working with assets

Open the Objects Hover panel by clicking + Add Object at the end of a scene column.

The hover panel appears on the right edge of the window in front of the side panel.

Click My Assets in the category bar.

The item list is reduced to your own assets.

To search the item list, type the desired term or part of it in the search field.

The list is filtered to items whose name or description contains the search text you entered.

Select the desired asset in the list to add it to the scene.

Long labels can be truncated in the WMS - but they are displayed in full in the browser tooltips. To see the tooltips, simply hover the mouse pointer over an element.

tooltipps

Tooltips appear for all titles (Training, Scene, Objects) and all descriptions (e.g. Training Description and Scene Description).

 

To set the visibility of the object at the beginning of the scene, check the Visible When Scene loaded checkbox. You can make invisible objects visible later using the Action Show Asset.

scene-visibility01

For global objects, you control the visibility for each scene directly in the scene column using the eye icon.
