SynergyXR

Measurement Tool
• Users can add a new distance measurement to the active session
• Users can choose between 3 different tools: Vertical, Horizontal and Free-form
• It is possible to change the measurement between metric and imperial units from the wrist menu
• Users can adjust the measurement

Large-Scale AR
• Users can now create a new type of Large AR space
• From the main menu, users can select “New AR” and from there choose between:
• Quick AR: small in-situ AR space
• Scan AR: medium sized space creating a digital copy of the copy of the surroundings
• Large AR: large AR experience
• When loading a Large AR Space on an AR-capable device, the users is automatically started in AR-mode and is being asked to align with the anchoring data available

Environment Audio Control
• When creating a custom Environment using the SynergyXR Environment Tool it is possible to integrate audio sources in the Environment
• Users can now control the volume of these audio sources
• All audio sources are scaled between 0% (muted) and 100% (original volume) maintaining the relative volume differences originally set in the Environment

Procedure Events
• We introduce “Events” in our Procedures system. Events can be used to model errors in Procedures, or allow users to interact with parts of the Environment not critical to the main Procedure
• Several events can be active at once, allowing the user to perform multiple events in parallel with the main Procedure
• An event can be tagged as being an “error”

Procedure improvements
• It is now possible to perform a “Two-hand assembly” allowing users to e.g. pick up an electrical screwdriver with one hand and attaching a battery using the other hand
• We now store the Procedure state in the Space. The Procedure Panel visibility state is also saved, allowing users e.g., to start a Procedure – hide the panel – and save the Space

• Ensure correct use of TCP for multiuser network communication.
• Fixed issue where application hangs shortly after starting a 3D drawing.
• Fixed issue where active object menu did not open correctly in quick AR sessions.
• Fixed a rare issue where an entire Training Procedure could be moved when trying to pick up an object.

Planned Sessions

• Authors and Admins can now plan a session from the Web Manager through the new “Sessions” tab
• A start and end date and time must be specified
• Participants can be added to the Session
• A Space must be specified
• All participants receives an e-mail with information about the planned Session
• When starting SynergyXR, users who have an upcoming planned Session are notified

Avatar Configurator

• The avatar configurator has been completely reworked
• More than 60 million combinations not counting hair color and skin tones

Avatar Personal Protection Equipment

• Users can now add safety equipment to their avatar during a Session
• The Equipment menu can be accessed from the menu, under “User” in the “Equipment” sub-menu
• Users can select between different options of “Personal Protection Equipment” (PPE)
• It is possible to integrate the use of PPE in Procedures

Active Object Menu

• In previous versions, when selecting an object in the Session a small menu appeared in the top-right corner of the bounding box encircling the object – this is called the “Active Object Menu”
• We have completely reworked the Active Object Menu
• The menu now appears in the bottom-middle of the screen for easy access

Scenario improvements

• The wrist menu UI has been overhauled to better segment scenarios and normal content.
- The global scenario state is gone.
- Instead, users can now add content to the space, while a scenario is active in edit mode.
- Adding steps to scenarios is now done from the scenario’s submenu.
• Saving a Space also saves changes to any open scenario.
• Loading a Space that was saved with an open scenario, will also automatically load the scenario.
• Entering spaces with open scenarios starts the scenario from the first step in the scenario sequence.
• When loading a scenario, all steps are automatically locked, to ensure users do not move steps around.
• The list of scenarios available in a Space has seen minor improvements, allowing users to delete scenarios from the Space.

Internet browser audio

• It is, unfortunately, not possible to stream the audio in internet browsers to all users to ensure they hear the same.
• Until now, the internet browser audio has been muted on PC and Mac, to ensure that all users get the same experience.
• We have now changed this - audio for internet browser content has been enabled locally on all platforms – it is still not streamed to other users participating in the session, but users currently controlling the browser can hear the audio.

2.5.4:
Minor bugfixes.

2.5.0:
LMS integration

• SynergyXR now offer integration with most major Learning Management Systems (LMS)
• Users can access training spaces using a PIN code from their LMS system
• This will automatically launch the user into the SynergyXR Space containing the training as specified in the SCORM Content Package exported from the SynergyXR web portal
• Four different events are tracked: joined, started, completed, and left
• The results are stored in a Learning Record Store and made available to the connected LMS system

iOS Quick-AR

• It is now possible for users to create a Quick-AR session skipping the normal 3D scanning commissioning phase
• Upon entering this mode, the user can instantly start adding content to the Space
• Other users are free to join the session enjoying multi-user collaboration
• The Space can also be saved for later use. These AR-Spaces are marked visually in the Space browser, ensuring users are aware that the intended use case is for AR, and that a 3D scan is not available
• When creating a new session in an existing AR Space, iOS users automatically start in AR mode
• Users joining a live AR session will start in VR mode, but iOS users are free to switch to AR mode in case they are in the same physical location

QR-code support for direct access to Spaces (deep links)

• Admins can go into the Web Manager, search for a Space and generate a unique QR-code for this Space
• A user can scan the QR code – either using the camera app, or using the in-app QR-code scanner located in the new main menu
• If the user is already logged in and have appropriate access rights, the user is automatically switched to the appropriate Workspace, and SynergyXR will suggest the user to enter the corresponding Space

New in-app main menu

With the latest update to SynergyXR for iOS, on-site technicians can grab an iOS device with LiDAR sensor and create a photorealistic scan of a technical installation that is spatially anchored to the real world. This enables true next generation remote support and troubleshooting, allowing experts to join through PC or VR to appear as virtual avatars right next to the on-site technician who made the scan literally minutes ago.
