Overview
An area in the 3D environment, attached to an anchor, that the learner can interact with by selecting it with their hand controls. Once selected, the hotspot can trigger various items based on the scripting.
For example, if you want to allow “Hints” in the environment you can have an icon the learner can click on a hotspot, which triggers a hint to help them progress past the point they are at in the scenario. Another example is using 3D images, when a hotspot attached to the image is clicked, the image changes to the next scene.

Activate. The “Select” event will be most frequently used with this resource.
Using End Script Resource
If you use an End Script Resource in the same script as this resource, the Hotspot resource will close - meaning it will disappear. An alternative to using the End Script Resource is to create a custom event marking the end of the script and then use that event as a condition where needed in other scripts.
Example in the Headset
In the Motive Lab I want to allow the learner to see Hints that help them progress in the scenario. As the learner completes each task, the “hint widget” should progress with the learner.
