Holonotes (BETA)
Please note, that Interactivity, Figma integration, and Holonotes are in beta.
Holonotes - the new revolutionary way to leave comments on your Spaces in ShapesXR.This feature enables you to record the full movements of your avatar in order to guide your audience's attention to what matters spatially.
With Holonotes, you can now easily leave comments for your teammates by recording your avatar, taking the concept of asynchronous design reviews to a whole new level.
How to record a holonote
1. Press the Create button
Open the Holonotes Tool in the menu, and press the Create button (The Plus icon). A viewpoint and a recording screen will appear in front of you.
2. Position viewpoint
Grab the floating viewpoint and position it to where you want the note to be viewed from.
Important! The viewpoint of the holonote tool is different from the regular viewpoint. The viewpoint of the Holonote Tool works both as a preview camera and as the point from which your holonote should be viewed. When the user plays your holonote, they will be teleported to this viewpoint (NOTE: You can disable this action in your settings)
3. Press the Record button
Press the record button on the toolbar or on the viewpoint screen bar to begin recording. After pressing the record button, a three-second countdown begins. Once the countdown is finished, you can start talking or commenting.
4. Press the Stop button
When you're done, press the stop button on the toolbar or on the viewpoint screen bar. After you press the stop button, a holonotes play icon will fly out of the toolbar and appear in front of you. You can grab the play icon and place it anywhere in your space (also, you can use any type of snapping while placing the holonote play icon (world grid, object snapping, snapping to the surface).
A holonote is created for each stage separately.
You can move the viewpoint even after the holonote has been created. To do this, select the desired holonote in the list, a viewpoint for this holonote will appear in the space. Grab it and move it where you need it.
When you create a second and subsequent holonote, the function to recreate the setup from your currently selected note becomes available to you. To do this, select the desired holonote in the list, then click the create button (Plus icon), and the duplicate button will appear on the panel. Click it, and the holonote will be recorded with the same position of viewpoint and settings as the holonote you have selected.
