How does the 3D viewer work?

When you visit a project, it is loaded in the browser of the device on which you opened the link.
Depending on the type of project, you will get a few questions at startup.
If asked, click on 'Open Project' to start the experience.
If you are not yet logged into the 3D viewer, you will also see an option to sign in as a 'Creator' or 'owner'. This gives you access to additional settings with which you can further shape the experience for your visitors.
For '3D worlds', you will then have the opportunity to test your sound settings and choose an avatar.

You are now in the space.
During your first visit, a short tour starts at the bottom of the screen.
Follow this to learn how to move around in the space.
When working on a laptop, you can also always open the Guide via the button in the bottom left
Here you will find additional information about the project, links to other locations, and help for navigation and any problems

In the top left of the screen, you can see with which role you are visiting the space.
This is useful to quickly see if you are logged in as an 'owner' or 'visitor'.

In the top right, as an owner, you will see several dropdown menus with which you can add extra interactive elements to the space, among other things.
In addition, you can see which people are in the space, which is of course only interesting if you have set up a session with multiple people.

In the bottom right, you will find the main menu. Click on 'More' to open it.
Visitors can change their name and avatar here, restart the tour, or adjust the viewer preferences.
The latter is only important in special situations, and we will explain this in another video.
As an owner, you can also set what visitors can and cannot do in the space in this menu.

Next to the main menu, you will find a button to leave the space. This ends your visit.
Owners of the space will also find a yellow help button here. Use this for more answers and manuals like this.

In the middle of the menu bar, you will find a button to the chat bar.
Via the chat, as an owner, you can send messages to visitors who log in from other locations.
Unless you have given visitors more rights, visitors will not see more than this.
The owner has additional buttons to further customize the space.
This is explained in other manuals of the 3D viewer.
