We are thrilled to share with you, the much-anticipated public release of Manifest! This includes our first store releases for HoloLens 2 and iPad. Please read on to learn the more about all the new features available – they will transform the way your team leverages Manifest in a world where there is an increasing and immediate demand for remote work and support. We can’t wait to see what you do with it!

 

What’s new? 

Expert Connect – Connect with other users, whether via the Client Web Portal or 3D headset. Expert Connect includes:

• Real-time chat
• Direct Audio and Video for 1 – 1 user calls
• Initiate a call from a job step marker. The contact list will sort by relevant users starting with the original Author and recent Operators.
• Share photos, videos, PDF’s or jobs with other users via Expert Connect Chat

Working Together – Whether it’s a planned team procedure or an operator unexpectedly needs to reassign a step or job to another operator, this new set of features provides the tools to ‘Work Together’.

• Team Jobs: Invite other Operators to collaborate on a Job by creating a Team. The Team Owner can either assign steps to team members, or they can self-assign steps to themselves. Once the work is divvied up, lock the assignments and start the job. All team members can watch the job progress through each step and view evidence left by other operators.
• Job Assignments: Select the new “Assign” option from a job step marker to invite another operator to take over. Once the operator accepts, they will own the job and all subsequent steps (unless of course they assign it off to someone else).

Manifest for iPad–

• Finally take Manifest with you everywhere with our new “Manifest for iPad” App, now available in the Apple App Store.
• Full Spatial authoring capability for creating procedures using 3D markers and notes.
• AR view of Job steps allowing any user to clearly identify what they are supposed to be doing at each step.
• Map viewer for viewing Assets and Locations through the iPad camera

Client Portal 3D Model Manager – Updates in the Client Portal make it easier for clients to set-up and configure 3D models.

• 3D models files, textures and materials should now be uploaded via a Zip-archive folder. The 3D Model Manager will unzip and auto auto-convert to glb and GLTF formats
• A new 3D Model Viewer now allows users to set the rotation, position, and scale from the model viewer as well as save multiple views of the same model.

Trial and Tutorial – Unlicensed users can now to take a free tour of Manifest in our trial environment.

• After installing the application, select ‘Signup’ to create a View Only account.
• You’ll be walked through an introductory tutorial to learn the basics and then can explore the application on your own with some sample content.

Install the latest build for your device. Those denoted with an * are now available in the app stores!

• Manifest for HL2 *

MODEL RELATED UPDATES IN 2.4

The Manifest 3D 2.4 release launches a massive roll-out of new tools, UI, and features related to working with 3D Models – including the ability to view and manage Model Views and to select from specific animations in an animated 3D Model. To learn more about the expansive set of changes and new features, read on…

Redesigned Asset Tag Adjustment Tools and Options ​

• We’ve hidden the Asset Tag Menu under options, the three-dot icon under the asset tag hologram. Selecting this button will expand the menu of options. ​
• To move the Asset Tag – simply select the asset tag hologram, hold, and drag to the desired position.
• ​Select ‘Tag Adjust’ under Options to access the Asset Tag Adjustment tools. This will place the tag in a flattened bounding box allowing users to adjust by grabbing the handles to rotate in any direction. User can use multipliers to speed up for fast movements, or slow down for precise positioning.​

New! Model Control Panel​

• A Model Control Panel can now be easily accessed from the Asset Tag options menu. From the Model Control Panel, users can:​
• • Select from associated Models, Views, and Animations (as available for that asset) and load by selecting they eye icon for “Show”. The user can also hide a 3D Model
  • Access Model Adjustment tools

New! 3D Model Adjust Tools ​

• Direct Adjust – Manipulate (scale, position, rotate) a 3D Model with direct interaction through the use of a bounding box. Enabling the bounding box will encase the 3D Model in a box with tools on each face of the cube so users can adjust the placement, rotation or size of the model by interacting directly with the bounding box.​
• Proxy Adjust – Manipulate (scale, position, rotate) a 3D Model by interacting with a smaller representation of the model, the Proxy Cube. The Proxy Cube renders a small cube that can be positioned by the user and provides easy to access tools to control adjustments on larger models.​

New! Model Information Window​ – Access the new Model Info window from the Asset Detail. This window will display which 3D Models are associated with an asset or asset class and allow you to select and show or hide any 3D Model, View, and Animation. Authors can also access the Model Set-up Wizard or Model View Management from this window.

Model Set-up Wizard ​

• Users will be alerted if a 3D Model has not been set-up on the 3D application yet (this means setting the 3D model position in relation to the asset tag.​
• Model set-up will prompt users (author only) through a two-step set-up wizard to set the scale, rotation, and position in relation to the asset tag.
• ​In addition to the new 3D Model Adjust Tools, Authors will have the option to set the position or rotation coordinates using manual input or a slider UI for quicker adjustments. ​

​Model View Management ​

• Authors can now set-up new Model Views for any model directly on a 3D device. Authors can also edit or delete existing views or update a new view to be the default.​
• Updated 3D Model Action Notes for Model Views & Animations​
• Authors can now create step Action Notes that triggers a specific Model View and/or Animation to render for an Operator during a job. ​

2.5 is now available for the Magic Leap 1 platform!

The 2.5.115 release brings the Manifest 3D application for Magic Leap 1 up to date with the current HoloLens 2.5 release. This includes new features such as the Dashboard, redesigned Locations, Jobs, and Alerts, as well as major fixes for working offline. This also includes updated connection that will become required for compatibility with future server updates.

* Important! Clients with On-prem configurations must update their docker installation to v.2.5 to use the updated 2.5 releases on Manifest 3D and Manifest Web applications. Docker v. 2.5 can be downloaded here. More information on Installing and configuring a Manifest On-Prem Server can be accessed here.
