Overview

Positional Anchors represent a position in the sceneScene.

You can attach a Positional Anchor to a screen messageScreen Message, a sound, a 3D asset, and more. You can also use them with World Proximity Conditions to know if a learner has moved to a certain spot in the VR simulation.

These anchors are customizable as you can create and determine a custom position within the scene Scene either manually or using the  VR Editor.

...

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 Scene object. Anchors represent a position in the sceneScene. This anchor can be used by other resourcesResources, such as the Screen Message and Move User resourcesResources.

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

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

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