Scene Interaction

The Scene Interaction section in the realvirtual.io documentation introduces a suite of components designed to facilitate user interaction within your digital twin models. These tools enable the creation of interactive elements such as buttons, switches, and overlays, allowing users to engage with the simulation in real-time.

Some of the functions are only available in realvirtual.io Professional.

Key Components:

• 3D Buttons: These are physical-like buttons placed within the 3D scene, mimicking real-world controls. They can be connected to PLC signals, enabling users to trigger actions like starting or stopping machinery directly within the simulation.

• Screen Overlay Buttons: UI elements that overlay the 3D scene, providing users with controls such as toggling views or initiating processes without interacting directly with 3D objects.

• Scene Selectables (Pro): This system allows objects within the scene to be selectable during play mode. Selecting an object can display a window with options to manipulate predefined signals, facilitating dynamic interaction with scene elements.

• Interact3D: A script that enables user interactions such as pressing buttons or toggling switches within the 3D environment. It allows for defining behaviors like changing materials or triggering signals upon user actions.

• UI Components (depracated): A collection of user interface elements including panels, buttons, and sliders that can be used to display information or provide controls within the simulation.

• HMI Components (Pro): Advanced human-machine interface elements like tabs, dropdowns, and message displays, allowing for the creation of comprehensive control panels and dashboards within the simulation. doc.realvirtual.io
