Overview
The Notification Resource displays text that is anchored to where the learner is looking. This text will disappear after 5 seconds. It provides the learner with immediate feedback that cannot be avoided since it follows their gaze.

What if I can’t see the Notfication in the Headset unless I look to the side/elsewhere in the Environment?
If no Anchor is assigned, a Notification will appear a certain distance in front of the user and stay locked to their field of few for a few seconds. This can lead to a situation with objects in the environment where you can’t see the Notification (but it can be helpful in the right circumstance.)
To address this you can:
Change the location of a Notification. You can assign an anchor to the Notification Resource so it appears in a specific location instead of being locked to the field of view of the user.
An Assembler can add colliders to the object via the SDK, then you should see the Notification.
