Navigator / zones of interest extension

KlemenM — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 08:54:28 GMT

Hi,

I found https://github.com/steveghee/OCTO_Studio_extensions and successfully added it to studio.

I'm really interested in navigator or zones of interest but I can't figure out how they work. I try to set the value from javascript but the screen in preview is blank.

I would like to ask if someone can provide me working example/project of this extensions.

Hi @KlemenM ,

do you mean in your question a specific extension from the OCTO github?

In the readme.md there is mentioned in the section navigation 2 widgets navigator and zones - is that what you want to use?

Which one or both? And what is the result of testing on mobile or HL?

Yes my question is about OCTO extensions. I want to test how both of extensions work in action but I'm unable to do so. I used the code from readme.md but the screen in preview of the mobile project is blank, I probably wrote the code wrong. I want to point user to specific location for which I currently use "pinger".

Because I did not use this OCTO widget in the past - wanted to test. - OCTO navigator and tested on IOS - added in the Home.js:

$scope.$on('$ionicView.afterEnter',()=> { $scope.view.wdg['navigator-1'].poidata = [ { position: "0,0,0", // defined as a string of xyz coordinates gaze: "0,0,1", // defined as a string, this is a unit vector pointing away from the view up: "0, 1, 0", // defined as a string, this is a unit vector pointing up through the device cutoff: 1.2, // optional, if provided this will override the widget-level cutoff setting FOR THIS poi metadata: "optional" // optional data that can be used to describe what this row indicates. can be string or {} object } ]; })

specified the IPad in the device property of the navigator-1

linked 3 buttons to the available service and tested.

The first impression is that it seems to work in the current studio version - so tested it in chrome preview and then on IOS IPad pro device - this worked -> means it could show the colored points to the specified space point/coord. The navigation was working in generally but of course need to verify further if the behavior is as indented and also what the other settings will do but seems that in generally it should work

Thank you, your code works. I made a stupid mistake in my code for which I am ashamed but I hope that this topic will be usefull for other users who maybe don't know that this extension exist.

Hi @KlemenM ,

I do not think that there is a really a "stupid error" 😀. I think errors always happen (possibly mostly the reason is that the documentation is not clear enough and therefore it is always helpful to share issue with the community . E.g. in this case it was helpful to hear about some powerful widgets which are not a part of the standard studio functionality - and possibly it could be helpful for future projects. Thanks
