We’ve packed this release with several exciting updates and features:

New Tools

The new update introduces several exciting features to enhance the user experience.

Additionally, the Cross Section with X-Ray Effect feature allows users to combine primitives with X-Ray visual effects, providing a more thorough and detailed analysis. Furthermore, the Server Interface now supports Live Stream and Live XR Stream Annotation, enabling the integration of cross-section primitives with X-Ray effects for a more comprehensive and immersive streaming experience.

UI Improvements

The latest update also includes several user-friendly features for streamlined management and enhanced functionality. The Dedicated License Management Tab allows users to manage their licenses effortlessly, providing a centralized location for all licensing needs. The Server Connection Tab offers a detailed view of server connection status and information, including licensing status, and connection details via QR Code and IP address. Additionally, there is a new tab specifically for the Hololight Space Spectator application, which is now supported on the iPad Pro, enhancing accessibility and usability for users on this platform.

For Meta Quest 2 and 3 users, the Fly Mode Settings feature allows users to lock the ‘Fly Mode’ to horizontal movement, providing more control and stability during navigation. Users can effortlessly switch between 3-axis navigation and horizontal-only movement, enhancing the overall user experience and offering greater flexibility based on individual preferences and requirements.
