New Features

Redesigned Show Text

We redesign the show text interaction from scratch to use a neutral UI that pops down from the top of the screen.

Interaction Hints

Display circles over interactable elements to improve discoverability of interactions and hotspots.

KTX2 Export Support

We noticed some issues with our player on mobile. The cause, we found out, is that our player was not optimized for the lower resources that are available on mobile devices.

Auto-rotate on Intro Screen

We also snuck in a small feature for the “Modern” loader option called autoCameraRotation. While enabled, the camera will automatically rotate around when the player is loaded or paused.

Fixes and improvements

Web

• Fix debug menu popping up in production
• Performance improvements
• Fix Open in new tab option for open link interaction
• Remove Scene transition to support Drei’s <Html/> component

New Features

New Loading Screen

In this release, we've added a brand new loading screen called "modern" which shows a live preview of the exhibit in the background. This new intro screen has some slick animations and better matches the style of the toolbar that we introduced in the last release.

Stronger Core

Behind the scenes, we have completely rewritten the Treasured player to use a newer, simpler 3D engine. As a result of this migration, we're already realizing gains in speed to implement new features, such as: improved transitions between hotspots and better handling of scene loading.

Fixes and improvements

• Improved hotspot transitions
• Ability to mute background audio on start
• Lower battery usage thanks to "on-demand" rendering
• Exit button to return to loading screen
• Better First Contentful Paint (FCP)
• Better keyboard navigation (Esc to exit and Right/Left Arrow to advance/rewind)
• Upgrade to Next.js 12 for faster build times

New Features

New Toolbar

In this first public release, we've added a brand new toolbar with controls for navigating between hotspots within an exhibit, auto-play, and volume controls. We even added a way to hide the toolbar for taking screenshots or to fully immerse yourself in the content.

Refreshed Web Embed UI

We also added a brand new UI for webpage embeds. Now when you add an Open Link interaction, you can specify the position of the embed view choosing from:

• Left
• Right
• Center

There's even a fullscreen button that visitors can click to get larger view of the embedded webpage.

Fixes and improvements

• Removed head rotation when navigating between hotspots as it was too jarring
• Fixed a bug where you could "click through walls" to hotspots and interactables that are not visible
• All exhibits have been converted over to the new SDK 🎉
• Fixed a bug causing overlapping text interaction rendering
• Pressing Space dismisses text interactions only instead of also navigating to the next hotspot
