Other Types of Anchors

Named Anchor (Catalog Type):  Anchor that exists inside the APK (predetermined) and is not configurable.  Scene Anchors are found here.

Scene Anchor Resource:   The Scene Anchor Resource attaches an anchor to a scene object. Anchors represent a position in the scene. This anchor can be used by other resources, such as the Screen Message and Move User resources.

Unlike the Positional Anchor resource, the Scene Anchor resource simply attaches to a scene object within the scene. Its position cannot be configured. 

UI Anchor Resource:  The UI Anchor Resource attaches an anchor to an object in the scene. Anchors represent a position in the scene. This anchor should be used by UI resources, such as Screen Message or Annotation.

Compared to other anchor resources, this resource provides additional optional fields that can enhance the learner interaction experience with UI panels.
