About this release
We have just updated the Manifest Web Application to add more support for spatial content when using a PC and a web browser. Using a 3D model, users will now be able to locate Asset Tags, the key reference point for any spatially located content, and a key initial step. Users will also be able to add spatially anchored AR content such as Step Markers, Leader Lines, and Pen Notes directly from the PC. This will make documenting procedures with Manifest even faster. It is hard to beat the efficiency of a keyboard and mouse when creating step-by-step instructions. In addition, users will no longer need to move between the PC and headsets or iPads when configuring, creating, and placing spatial content. Admins, that often don’t have convenient access to a headset, will be able to place an Asset Tag when configuring an Asset Class and incorporating a 3D model during their initial configuration on a PC, previously not possible. At the same time, using a 3D model to create and configure the spatial content also greatly decreases the dependency of equipment availability so scheduling downtime or traveling is no longer a requirement.
This all nets out to a more streamlined experience making it easier and faster to leverage Manifest for spatial computing.
