Hi,
I need to add some info icons in cardboard tour, to learn info about the objects where the hotspots are placed. Something like mouse enter/leave to show/hide text tooltip. As far as I know VR output does not support this? Is there something new with this in V6 or some workaround?

Thanks.

hello,
first i wanted to ask the same question. for releasing a info box with cardboard crosshair:

but this seems not possible.

but as a lowly workaround you can link to a "flat" picture with text (and link back with a {back} node)

maybe this helps.

best regards,

I found a workaround, it was a bit of a challenge but works. I had only 11 info hotspots, but for large projects with dozens hotspots it would be more laborious.

Well, to show/hide my text fields I used logic blocks with pan/tilt coordinates, see screenshoot.

oh wonderful!
but one question how do you get the pan/tilt values to release the trigger on the right place?

you read it here, and make a small area?!

I got the coordinates from hotspot's properties, then add about +/- 2degrees to set the limits
