This is the free DEMO version. It is the same as the full version except it is not modifiable or transferable. It includes several trigger objects that demonstrate how the HUD works.
NOTE: Version 1.6.7 (and later) have a new audio-to-text feature that, when enabled, automatically sends the text of the audio being played to the user in private chat. While this is primarily intended for hearing impaired users, it can be helpful to other users as well. Users can turn this feature on/off by clicking the HUD.
The Audio/Video Player HUD is intended to be used for self-guided tours of venues, exhibits, stores, attractions, events, etc. It can be used for product advertising, event exhibit descriptions, interactive adventures and quests, instructions, or anything else that can benefit from location triggered audio and/or video. It is similar to the devices you get in some real-life museums that provide narrations about the exhibit you are standing near. The advantage of a HUD is the audio and video is private. It can only be seen/heard by the HUD wearer and does not distract or annoy others like a public sound player would. All content is specified on a single "Play List" notecard that has many options to customize its operation.
The HUD is attached (added) to the user’s viewer screen and looks like a small set of headphones. The HUD icon is green when playing and white when ready but not playing. It is controlled using a “Play List” notecard and the HUD's script. The HUD can automatically play sound clips saved in its Contents and/or audio/video from a website.
Sounds and/or web videos are normally triggered by proximity to a specified trigger object. However other trigger methods can be specified such as touching the trigger object, sitting on it, or only when the object is moving (useful for vehicles, tour trains, etc.).
Once you set up the HUD's Play List, you can transfer the HUD to visitors to use in your venue. Or you can enable visitors to get it themselves via my HUD Dispenser (sold separately).
