Training Notes

Key Takeaways from Tutorial 2

  • If learners will be interacting with objects in the scene, you need to add those objects to a script via the Catalog.

  • Always test audio files to ensure optimal sound levels. 

  • Any audio on Ambient Track will have the lowest priority if there are several sounds playing at once.

  • When you anchor sounds to an object the sound will change based on your location in the scene.

  • Within the VR scene, use the green arrows to move around.
