Building a Lesson

Steps for Creating a New Lesson

1. Open the "Collections" Folder

1. • Start by opening the "Collections" folder to create a new lesson.

2. Create a New Folder

1. • Create a folder for your lesson and give it an appropriate name.

3. Gather Resources

1. • Refer to [this page] for recommended sources. Can gather 3D models, Videos (2D, 3D and 360), Images and Audio. 

3D Models Setup

1. Open in Inspector

1. • Open 3D models in Inspector to configure object properties (grabbable, placement, etc.).

2. Save Models

1. • Save 3D models in your new folder.

   • Note: Slides will play in alphabetical order.

Adding Videos

Note: Videos are set to auto play on each slide by default, to not have them auto play, you can set AUTO_PLAY_VIDEOS = False, in the mediaConfig.py file. To control playback of the videos, see the "Controls" page. 

1. For Virtual TV Object:

1. • Add the TV_Stand.osgb object and place it in a folder named "Objects" in your project.

   • Create a folder named "Videos" and place your video inside it.

   • Ensure the video name matches the environment model name.
     Example: If the environment is Human_Anatomy_Muscles.osgb, name the video Human_Anatomy_Muscles.mp4.

2. For Large Screen:

1. • Videos on the large screen can be monoscopic or stereo.

   • To add a monoscopic video, place it in the "Videos" folder and append "_Large" to its name.

   • For stereo 3D videos, append "_Large_stereo". The environment model should also share the exact name with the correct tag.

     1. Stereo by default for these videos is in the Side By Side (Left/Right) format. To change this to Top/Bottom change the line in the mediaConfigy.py file to STEREO_VIDEO_FORMAT = 'Top_Bottom'

3. For 360 Videos:

1. • Place 360 videos in the "Videos" folder.

   • Use the tag "_360" for monoscopic or "_360_stereo" for stereo videos, matching the environment name.

Adding Images

1. Add the virtual TV object as before.

2. Place images in a folder named "Images" with the same name as the environment.

Adding Audio

1. Place audio files in a folder named "Audio".

2. Ensure the audio file shares the same name as the environment model.

Augmented Reality Mode (Passthrough)

1. To enable the passthrough (AR) mode for an environment, append the tag "_Passthrough" to the environment name.

Using Built-in Animations

• Built-in animations should play automatically but may vary based on how they were implemented.

Showing Built-in Desks

1. Place the Desks.osgb model in the "Objects" folder.

2. In the mediaConfig.py file, set SHOW_DESKS = True to display the desks.
