Business value

This feature enables operators to complete guides faster since they don’t have to gaze at the Next or Back buttons on the instruction card in between steps. Placing spatial triggers in the flow of operator tasks also enables authors to train operators to use correct movements while avoiding distractions (such as gazing at instruction card buttons).

Feature details

Spatial triggers is a new category of 3D models available in the 3D toolkit that comes with Dynamics 365 Guides. For example, authors can place a Next spatial trigger where they expect operators to place their hand when turning a knob or pressing a button. When an operator’s hand collides with the trigger, the guide automatically moves to the next step.

In addition to generic spatial triggers that are invisible to operators, authors can place prebuilt Next and Back holographic buttons in the world like any other hologram.
