Part 3 – Create engaging activities

You want to create engaging activities for your users? 🤓

As you know, making users active in a 360° experience can significantly motivate them to reach their goals (meaning going through the experience). Therefore, they will be able to benefit from the content you provided.

Speedernet Sphere is sensitive to this educational aspect, so it provides features that allow you to place the user at the heart of the experience.

If you remember, I described the following scenario as an example in the tutorial “Create an interactive and immersive experience”:

“The user is at his workplace ’Maintenance workshop’. A noise is suddenly heard in the workshop.

The user must listen carefully to identify the area where the problem is coming from. Once this area has been identified, the user must seek out and identify the items needed to fix the problem.”

In this simple example, the user must seek out and find two items useful to fix the problem. A gauge is displayed and asks the user to take the challenge. Each time an item is found, the gauge’s indicator changes. It is a mix of the “Number” variable and dynamic text. Once the items needed have been found, a feedback is displayed and shows the user has succeeded.

I suggest you watch the video below to see how these steps are implemented:

Using variables and dynamic text, create interactive scenarios with simplicities or complexities required by your scenaristic needs.

Here is a summary of the steps to follow:

• Create a variable (in our example, a “Number” variable) and rename it
• Add a text item and rename it in the right column
• Write the text and the name of the variable between brackets: {items}

• In the “Scenario mode”: in the conditionals of two correct items which have been found, add 1 to the “Number” variable
• Create a new conditional: when the “Number” variable equals 2, the noise stops and the success feedback is displayed (the text changes aspect)

Now it’s your turn! 🤓
