Zone Narration

Feature Introduction

The zone-Narration feature allows users to create immersive experiences by linking audio explanations to specific zones within a virtual space. By defining zones through selecting points, users can bind audio to these areas, ensuring that as users roam through the space, the audio explanation dynamically changes based on their location. This creates an immersive experience where the narrative follows the user's journey through the virtual environment, enhancing engagement and understanding.

Adding a Zone

To create a new zone within the virtual environment, follow these steps:

1. Initiate Zone Addition: Click the "Add a partition" button to start the process.
2. Select Points: Hold down the left mouse button to draw a selection box around the desired points within the space. Once the points are selected, click the "Confirm" button to finalize the selection.
3. Manage Points: You can add or remove points by clicking on them directly on the canvas. Alternatively, use the "Delete" button in the right-side list to remove points from the zone.
4. Edit Zone Details: In the right sidebar, you can edit the name of the zone. Click the "Select Audio" button to add audio to the zone, enhancing the immersive experience.
5. Save the Zone: Click the "Save" button to store the zone configuration. The saved zone will appear in the zone list.
6. Customize Zone Appearance:
   • Use the "Color Picker" to adjust the color of the points within the zone.
   • Click the "Edit" button to make further modifications to the zone.
   • Click "Delete" to remove the zone entirely.
7. Audio Management: The "Audio" button becomes clickable only after audio has been added, allowing you to preview the audio content associated with the zone.

These steps allow you to effectively manage zones within the virtual environment, linking them with audio for an enhanced user experience.

Other Editing Operations

• Zoom Base Map: Use the mouse scroll wheel or touchpad gestures to zoom in and out of the base map. This allows for a closer inspection and more precise editing of specific areas within the map.
• Move Base Map: Click and hold the right mouse button to drag and reposition the base map. This helps in adjusting the view to focus on different sections of the map as needed.

These operations provide flexibility and control over the editing process, facilitating detailed adjustments and navigation within the virtual environment.

Display End

When zone-Narration are set, the Narration will automatically play as users navigate through the designated zones in the virtual space. By default, the audio will play once. Users can control the playback of the Narration using a switch located in the upper right corner of the interface. This feature enhances the immersive experience by providing relevant audio content that corresponds to the user's location within the virtual environment, allowing for a seamless and informative exploration.
