Feature:
Sweep Actions

With “Sweep Point Action”, MPskin users can add even more interactive features to their tours! 

 

Link scan points/sweep points with a click action of your choice to automatically display or play certain content to users as they navigate the tour. 
This also makes Sweep Actions ideal for gamification!

Automatic Click-Actions

Sweep actions allow you to display specific content to users without any interaction. As soon as the user reaches a certain area, a click action of your choice opens automatically! 
This feature is ideal for implementing an audio guide in museums, for example, or for storing important information that the user should not miss under any circumstances. Deeplinks can also be configured as sweep actions, allowing you to link several skins together, for example. 

Configuration options

Whether text, image, video, audio, PDF, or external link, Sweep Actions can be used to automatically open any media content as soon as a specific sweep or scan point is reached. You can also apply a click action to a group of sweep points. You can select whether each click action should occur only once or every time the user lands on the sweep points.

Gamification

Few features in MPskin are better suited for "gamification" - creating games within Matterport tours. Sweep actions can be used to automatically teleport users to specific locations, hide clues in the tour, trigger click actions on virtual staging objects, or play audio files.

FAQ about Sweep Actions

Which type of click actions are possible?

The following click actions can be configured:

  • Text
  • Image/Photo
  • Media Gallery
  • Video
  • Audio
  • PDF 
  • Panorama
  • external link
  • HTML
  • Tags
  • VS objects
Do Tags or Virtual Staging elements also work as Sweep Actions?

Yes! 
In the case of Tags as a sweep action, the user is automatically moved to the linked Tag once the selected scan point is reached, and the Tag is then opened.

 

For VS objects as sweep actions, it depends on the type of VS object:

For VS videos, the video is automatically played when the selected scan point is reached, with sound if desired. This is especially useful for green screen videos, for example to have a receptionist greet the user once the sweep is reached. This is especially convenient because VS videos with "Autoplay" can't be played with sound. This way, the user doesn't have to manually click on the video to start it with sound.

For VS 3D objects, the click action associated with the object is triggered when the target sweep is reached.

Can several Sweep Actions be assigned to one scan point?

No, this is not possible.

Can I continue to navigate in the tour while Sweep Action audios are playing?

Yes! Users can continue to interact with the tour while an audio file is playing. This makes Sweep Action audios the perfect audio guide for your tour.

Can sweep actions also be configured in multiple languages?

Yes, as usual in MPskin, sweep actions can be configured in any number of languages. 
However, if you use audios or videos, they must be uploaded in the corresponding languages. 
You can also use online tools for translation, for example: Rask AI
