Object2VR 4

Object2VR 4 beta is finally here, and it boasts a new interface and a new Skin Editor. We now support more cameras and Bluetooth and wireless turntables. We’ve created all new built-in skins that are responsive and support many hotspot types.

What's New

Examples

New Interface, New Logo

Object2VR 4 beta gets a whole new interface design! That means the workflow has changed. We no longer have separate windows for the light table, hotspots, image processing, and output. These are now all accessible in the main project window. The Viewer is used to add hotspots, process the images, and view the live view from the camera. 

We also have a new logo for Object2VR!

New Skin Editor

A whole new Skin Editor! This Skin Editor is full of powerful new features. 

One of those features is the power of Logic Blocks. Logic Blocks are a way of automatically altering the values of skin elements, making it possible to react to certain circumstances – using logic. For example, you can target a specific element to scale to a specific size depending on the player’s width, creating a responsive skin.

There are many more actions and sources as well. 

Translations

The new Skin Editor doesn’t just bring a new way of creating skins; it also lets us quickly create a multilingual project. This means we can use a menu to change the text in a project and images, PDFs, videos, and URLs. Both the project and the skin can be translated.

For the translation, we use Poedit to edit the translation files.

Image, Video, and PDF Hotspots

Point Hotspots now support images, videos, and PDFs. This means you can create popups! 

The new default skins that are shipped with Object2VR, already support these types of hotspots.

You’ll also find a Components Toolbox in the skin editor with pre-built hotspot templates, so you can add them to your custom skins.

Web Output and Cloud Service

The HTML5 output is now the only output format, and it is called Web Output. 

In the Web Output, you can directly export a Garden Gnome Package File and upload your project to our Gnome Cloud service. Try it out for free for 90 days.

More Cameras and Turntables

Object2VR 4 now supports more cameras and turntables. 

Wireless Sony cameras with Camera Remote API, the Nodal Ninja Mecha, the MIOPS capsule PRO, and any camera that can act as a webcam are supported.

Support for wireless tables is also available. Please check our list of currently supported tables! If the table you want to use is not on the list, let us know so we can get in touch with the manufacturer.
