This article describes how you can implement Motive’s premade Scene Anchor component to anchor objects Objects in a VR scene easily, such as UI elements, audio/video elements, 3d 3D assets, and more. With only a few minor changes made in Unity, this functionality allows for easy and fast spawning using Storyflow, which this tutorial will also cover.

Important: Any object Object that will be used as part of a training procedure authored in Storyflow must be a Motive Scene Object, however, the Motive Scene Anchor component also works.
