Interactions

Note

Interactions are only available while using AR mode img-ar

Interactions created for objects in the Xperience can activate by exploring the triggers.

Note

If enabled by the author, the interaction zones are displayed on the object. Otherwise, the interaction zones are hidden.

  1. Explore the object to find potential triggers which activates actions

  2. Alternatively, tap beside the object to show the interaction zones

../_images/473-interactions.png

Note

If the interaction uses a proximity trigger, the interaction zone is always invisible. The interaction triggers when you walk into the invisible zone, defined by the author.

Note

If the interaction uses the assessment passed or failed trigger, it triggers when you run the specific activities in the Assessment Portal.

Geolocated Xperience

Note

Geolocated Xperiences are only available while using AR mode img-ar

In a geolocated Xperience, the objects are connected to a physical location in the real world. These objects have their exact position memorized.

Note

In the Xperience page, Geolocated Xperiences are indicated by the img-anchor icon. The connected physical location is displayed on the map.

There are two ways to display objects in a geolocated Xperience:

  1. Place objects connected to a physical location (recommended)

    • EON-XR places the object in the memorized position

    • Requires that you start the Xperience in the correct physical location

  2. Place object without using the memorized position

    • You place the object manually, without relying on the memorized location

    • When starting the Xperience in another physical location

Place objects connected to a physical location

When placing objects connected to a physical, you must visit the exact same physical location as the Xperience was created in.

  1. Select Yes in the dialogue to use persistent anchor

  2. Move to the physical location displayed in the photo

../_images/470-persistentlocation.png ../_images/471-expectedlocation.png

  1. Select OK to place the 3D object

  2. The object is placed in the memorized position using the author specified orientation

Place objects in different physical location

If you are at a different physical location, you can place the object manually, without using the location saved in the geolocated Xperience.

  1. Select No, place manually in the dialogue

  2. Place the object in the desired position

  3. The object is placed without using the memorized location and author specified orientation

Note

Placing objects in Geolocated Xperiences while in another physical location may affect the objectives of the Xperience.
