Info Panel

Functions:

The main use of the info panel is to provide video and image content to users in the VR experience. It has a small but noticeable glowing indicator which becomes the full info-panel on approach.

The info panel auto rotates towards the user when it appears.

The buttons are interacted with by physically reaching out and pressing them.

How to use:

  • Drag the info panel prefab from under Assets/Prefabs/Infopanel into the scene and position it where you want.
  • On the first layer of the prefab in the component called Info Panel Settings, add images and movie textures to the Image Textures array.
  • The Start Textures Index simply indicates which texture the slideshow will start on (which is useful when modifying large lists of images to prevent having to manually move them forward or back one slot).

Things to note:

  • The movie textures MUST BE TEXTURES not simply mp4 files. Converting various clips into textures in unity can be done by adding an mp4 and opening the inspector. Switch the Importer Version to Movie Texture, set Quality to 1 and hit Apply.
    • You must have quicktime installed for this conversion to work
