Introduction
3D Interactive Flows in Mixed Reality offer a unique and immersive experience that sets them apart from other platforms. Here, you can witness animations unfolding on your real-life model, and holograms assist you in performing both simple and complex procedures relevant to your daily work.
After completing the object anchoring process and placing the Digital Twin in your surroundings, it's time to familiarize yourself with interacting within the app while a 3D flow is in progress. This will enable you to seamlessly navigate and engage with the virtual environment as you carry out the Interactive Flow.
Getting Started
To access an Interactive Flow in the Mixed Reality - Knowledge Zone, you have two options. Firstly, you can directly search for the desired flow in the folders from the main menu. Alternatively, if you have already launched the Digital Twin, you can select a Flow from the Procedure menu.
Another convenient feature is the ability to launch procedures through QR codes. Simply look at a QR code and press the play symbol at its center. You don't even need to have the application running for this. The device will automatically detect the QR code, load the selected program, and initiate the Interactive Flow with the corresponding content. It's a seamless and efficient way to start an Interactive Flow without any additional steps.
Similar to the initial set of menus in the Knowledge Zone, the folder hierarchy remains the same. However, in this case, you will only see Interactive Flows that are relevant to your specific project. This streamlined approach ensures that you can easily locate and choose the flow that are most applicable to your needs.
After selecting the relevant Interactive Flow, you will proceed to view the step-by-step instructions and details of the Flow. This will guide you through the necessary actions and provide the necessary information to successfully carry out the Interactive Flow.
Interactive Flow User Interface
When you access the relevant Interactive Flow, you will encounter three main components in the user interface. These elements are designed to enhance your understanding and interaction with the Flow.
Description Box: This box provides step-by-step instructions for the Interactive Flow. It includes relevant text, media elements, and interactive options in the top menu. The description box serves as your primary guide throughout the Flow.
Breadcrumb: A visual breadcrumb is displayed, connecting the description box to the relevant step hologram. This breadcrumb line assists in directing your attention and navigation within your surroundings, ensuring you know where to look or proceed next.
Hologram with Animations: The hologram presents the animated visuals that guide you through the Interactive Flow. It highlights the relevant parts and actions of each step, either through animated sequences or by indicating specific points of interest with blinking cues. This interactive element aids in understanding and performing the required tasks accurately.
Together, these components create an intuitive and immersive user interface, empowering you to follow the Interactive Flow effectively while leveraging the Mixed Reality environment for a seamless experience.
