ENGAGE 0.6 Update
Hello ENGAGE users!
Today we have an update for you that incorporates several new features and bugfixes.
Here are some highlights:
- New Feature: Desktop Sharing – Share your desktop screen and present documents and content from any application on your desktop to everyone else in the session!
- New Feature: Cloud Files – Within My Media inside ENGAGE or the web application, you can now connect to several cloud providers including OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox to load directly into shared media screens.
- New Feature: Laser Pointer – The host and media assistant now have a laser pointer that can be used to point things out to others at any time. The laser pointer is activated by holding the grip and trigger buttons on either hand in VR.
- New Feature: Advanced tracking – Hips and feet can now be tracked along with the standard hands and head. Just enter ENGAGE with Vive trackers on your feet and/or hips and you will be prompted to calibrate once inside. Advanced tracking is fully compatible with the recording system and all other functions.
- CDN - ENGAGE now uses a worldwide Content Delivery Network to speed up downloading times for all content updates inside the application.
- Improved network - The networking in ENGAGE has been significantly improved in this build with a new dedicated streaming channel to handle all the web and desktop streaming functions. VOIP will no longer be affected by streaming usage.
- Set Seated Position – You can now set / re-center your real-world chair position to anywhere you like on SteamVR and Oculus. A quick link to this function can be found on the menu home page.
- Improved Avatars - All avatars and the avatar IK system have been improved significantly in this build and will continue to improve.
- Live-input Keyboard - All web-based menus and the browser now have a virtual live-input text keyboard to make taking notes, web browsing, and general usage of ENGAGE in VR much easier.
- Several more bugfixes and general improvements have been made in this build. Thank you for the support and feedback!
