EON Illuminate enhancements

When creating geolocated Xperiences with the EON Illuminate add-on you can now create persistent annotations. The persistent annotations let you memorize annotations to a position in the real world, that is not attached to a 3D object.

Creating persistent anchor in a Xperience requires at least one 3D object. Creating persistent annotation requires a mobile device with support for LiDAR (on iOS), or Depth API (on Android).

1. Follow the instructions to Create persistent objects

2. Select + and Add annotation

3. Set the annotation point, update label, and add the desired media

4. When viewing the Xperience in Play mode, persistent annotations are shown when you point to memorized positions in the real world

1:1 real scale

Publishing options for Xperiences

When you exit the EON Metaverse Builder Xperience in create mode or edit mode you can now access publishing options. The publishing options lets you specify who can view and access your Xperience:
