Creative tools
From the tablet it will be possible to access Reflectis tools (to be defined which user roles will be accessible):
- Pencil [VR only], to draw in 2D on the whiteboard or in 3D in the environment.
- Laser pointer [VR only], is used to target any element in the environment.
- Whiteboard, you can spawn them in the environment and use the pencil to write on it.
Pencil
Currently the pencil is only available in VR.
When the user chooses to use it, it will spawn a pencil on the user's right hand and a palette on the left hand (reversed if the user has changed the main hand option). There will be predefined colors on the palette, a button to activate the eraser, and one to change the thickness of the pencil.
The pencil can be used either in 3D, in any space, or on a 2D whiteboard. To activate it, simply press the trigger of the controller on which the pencil is on.
To remove the pencil, simply return to the tablet menu and click on the tool button again.
Laser pointer
The laser pointer is only available in VR.
When the user chooses to use it, it will spawn a pointer on the user's main hand. The pointer will already be active, so simply pointing it at the desired object will display a red dot of detection.
To remove the pointer, simply return to the tablet menu and click on the tool button again.
Whiteboard
Currently the virtual whiteboard can't be used in WebGL, but only be spawned. While in VR it is possible to use it with the pencil.
When the user chooses to spawn a whiteboard, it appears in front of him.
The whiteboard can be grabbed from the white side handles, through the grab of one of the controllers in VR, or with the left-click on one of the handles, in WebGL.
To change the position, rotation or scale, just follow the same controls in the Assets section.
Multiple whiteboards can be called into the environment at the same time and can be deleted by interacting with the X button in the upper right corner of the board.
