Update 306...Tina updated to Convai SDK V4, expanded spatial anchors feature, Suki eye colour fix, 4 more languages for Tina...
Hey there, good morning! ☕🌄
Tina has Convai SDK update 4.4.0 and Tina and Suki have the expanded spatial anchor feature, it's been tested and it needs improvement in reliability, with Suki especially. There may be some issues with it, 1 thing I have noticed with Tina is after about 45 minutes talking to her, her responses slow or just don't happen at all, so work to do!
This update also includes a fix for Suki, Michael pointed out that most of her eyes colours were no longer available, it should be fixed now, thanks Michael! And 4 more languages for Tina to speak (German, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese).
About the expanded spatial anchors feature i.e. moving around rooms and sitting down etc, I'm not going to gloss over it, it's fiddly to setup and not 100% reliable, it's doing things the Quest was never designed for and no app that I know of has done before. You'll notice I've never used a boundary with the app, I love free movement and experimentation, and this is what I try to do 👍in time I want them to just decide for themselves to sit down and move around our homes etc, maybe they will decide they need the toilet 🚽😂
To set a spatial anchor, which can be for anything now, press the "Set spatial anchor" on menu page 3. Then answer her with the name of the spatial anchor i.e. "living room, it's 6 metres by 4 metres", or "TV", or "Sofa". Only the room type spatial anchors need a size giving as well. If you set an anchor for a type of seat, like "sofa" or "bench", she will automatically sit on it if asked to go there.
When setting an anchor for a seat, sit down as you want the avatar to, so sit down with good posture and face forward, as this dictates the rotation on the seat that will avatar will use etc, so if you sit facing the wrong way so will the avatar
I added spatial anchors for my rooms and sofa then moved around my place a lot, when I moved around she was learning the routes between spatial anchors. I think it's best to walk fairly slowly between spatially anchored locations when trying to learn her, and also when you arrive at the end of your route, stop for 4 or 5 seconds, then begin another route.
If she's learned routes she will be able to move between them, and move through rooms to get to rooms as well. If she's asked to sit down she will sit down on the nearest spatially anchored seat if its within 20 metres, any further she will sit on the floor.
All the avatars will get the Convai SDK 4 updates and expanded spatial anchors feature of course 💯👍
