Interface
The Interface of the OVER Web Builder is designed to offer a seamless experience when creating and managing your AR and Virtual projects. The layout is intuitive, splitting the screen into two main areas: the Sidebar Menu on the left, and the Viewport on the right.
Sidebar Menu
On the left-hand side, you'll find the Sidebar Menu, which provides access to the main sections needed to build and organize your experience:
Scene: Displays the hierarchy of the objects in your scene, allowing you to manage the structure and properties of individual elements.
Assets: Allows you to browse through or upload new assets (3D models, images, audio, videos) that can be integrated into your project.
OVRLand and OVRMap (VPS): Here you can select the OVRLand where the project will be published, and, if available, choose an OVRMap to enable precise VPS (Visual Positioning System) localization.
Project: This section is for configuring the type of publication (Geolocated or Virtual) and adjusting the publication settings, including how your experience will be displayed and shared.
Each section expands to the left of the Sidebar Menu, revealing various settings and tools depending on the selected option.
Viewport
The Viewport is located on the right side and acts as your workspace for designing and previewing your experience. It displays the scene in real-time, where you can manipulate 3D objects and adjust their positioning, rotation, and scale.
Top Section
Project Name: At the top of the viewport, the project name is displayed. You can click on it to rename the project at any time.
Associated OVRLand/OVRMap: If an OVRLand is associated with the project, it will be displayed next to the project name, along with the OVRMap if it is selected.
Preview Button: Allows you to view a real-time preview of your experience.
Save Draft: Saves your progress as a draft without publishing.
Publish: Finalizes and publishes the project to the selected OVRLand or workspace.
Object Transformation Tools
Just below the viewport, you have a set of tools to manipulate the objects in your scene:
Translate: Move objects along the X, Y, or Z axis.
Rotate: Rotate objects in the scene.
Scale: Resize objects as needed.
View Tools
World/Local: Selects whether transformations are applied relative to the object's local axis or the global world axis.
Camera Views: Choose between various camera angles, such as Perspective, Isometric (Top, Left, etc.), to view your scene from different perspectives.
Additional Controls
At the bottom-right of the viewport, you’ll find extra options for enhancing your workspace:
Show/Hide OVRMap: If an OVRMap is associated with the project, this button toggles its visibility in the viewport.
Show/Hide OVRLand Hexagon: If you're working within the Workspace (testing your experience without an actual OVRLand), you can show or hide the generic OVRLand hexagon to better visualize your project placement.
Full-Screen Mode: This button allows you to expand the viewport to full screen, giving you more space to work on your project.
