WCTC 0.1.1: End User Experience (WorkLink App Demo)
This video provides a detailed tour of the end user experience within the WorkLink app, offering insights into technical details and terminology. Here's a summary:
-
Introduction to End User Experience:
- The video focuses on showcasing the end user experience on the WorkLink app using a recorded screen from an iPad Pro.
- The goal is to understand the user interface, establish shared vocabulary, and explore functionalities for both end users and authors.
-
Tabs and Navigation:
- Two main tabs are introduced: Contacts Tab for remote assist functionality and Scenarios Tab for accessing scenarios.
- Users can initiate remote assist calls and view a list of scenarios available to them.
-
Scenario Loading and Content Placement:
- Users select a specific scenario from the list to load.
- The first step involves content placement, where users are prompted to place 3D content in their space.
- Three placement types are highlighted: surface placement, image placement, and object tracking.
-
Linear vs. Nonlinear Experience:
- The video explains the concept of linear and nonlinear experiences.
- Linear experiences involve a step-by-step progression, while nonlinear experiences allow users to choose their path freely.
-
Content Interaction:
- Different styles of authoring are demonstrated, including color highlights, arrows, and animations to explain various components of a turbine.
- Users can interact with the content, rotate, and scale it after placement on a flat surface.
-
Visibility Modes:
- Two visibility modes are introduced: Standalone mode and Device mode.
- Standalone mode is associated with surface placement, where the entire 3D content is visible.
- Device mode is connected to object tracking, where only moving parts are rendered.
-
Object Tracking:
- Object tracking is shown as a way to align content with a physical object, allowing for an overlay-style experience.
- Users match blue lines to the outlines of the physical asset to achieve alignment.
-
Interactive Mode:
- Interactive mode is introduced, providing a 3D viewer experience without AR components.
- This mode allows users to review instructions in a virtual environment when placing content on a flat surface is not feasible.
-
Summary of Shared Vocabulary:
- Key takeaways include the establishment of shared vocabulary, such as placement types (object and surface), visibility modes (Standalone and Device), and interaction modes (linear and nonlinear).
- The video concludes by emphasizing that the shared vocabulary will be used in building instructions in subsequent sections of the training.
