​
Overview

Start Speed Tracking monitors the trainee’s movement speed. Set the maximum speed in meters per second, enter a warning message, and choose what happens when the limit is exceeded. Use Stop Speed Tracking to end previously started monitoring. Speed tracking applies across subsequent steps until it is stopped. Add Stop Speed Tracking when the part of the training that requires speed monitoring ends.
Speed-tracking actions are intended for headset training. Verify their behavior on the headset used by your trainees.

Start Speed Tracking

​
When to Use

  • Controlled movement: Require the trainee to move through a training area at a defined pace.
  • Movement feedback: Display a warning when the trainee exceeds the configured speed.
  • Retry exercises: Restart the step or training when the trainee moves too quickly.

​
Parameters

​
Responses When the Speed Limit Is Exceeded

​
Configuring the Action

1

Add Start Speed Tracking

Select the step where speed monitoring should begin. Open On Entry in the Properties panel and add Start Speed Tracking.
2

Set the speed and message

Enter Max Speed (m/s) and an Error Message that tells the trainee what to do when they move too quickly.
3

Choose the response and feedback

Set If Max Speed Met to the response required by your training scenario. Enable Emit Impurity particles if you want particle feedback based on movement speed.

​
Stop Speed Tracking

Stop Speed Tracking ends previously started speed monitoring. It has no parameters to configure. Add it to the Actions list of the transition that ends the monitored phase, or to the On Entry actions of the next step where speed monitoring is no longer needed.

​
Example: Move Through an Inspection Area at a Controlled Speed

A trainee walks through a simulated inspection area. For this exercise, use a maximum movement speed of 1 meter per second and display a reminder if the trainee moves too quickly. In the first inspection step’s On Entry actions, add Start Speed Tracking with:
  • Max Speed (m/s): 1
  • Error Message: “You are moving too quickly. Slow down as you walk through the inspection area.”
  • If Max Speed Met: Let user continue
  • Emit Impurity particles: Disabled
When the trainee exceeds the configured speed, the warning appears and they can continue the exercise. Monitoring remains active through the inspection steps. On the transition that completes the inspection phase, add Stop Speed Tracking to the Actions list. Monitoring ends when that transition runs.

​
Best Practices

  • Explain the expected pace: Tell the trainee how they should move before monitoring begins.
  • Test the threshold: Choose a speed suited to the exercise and verify it on the target headset.
  • Match the response to the exercise: Use a warning for practice or require a retry when the learning objective calls for it.
  • Plan where monitoring ends: Stop tracking when the monitored phase is complete.
  • Stop before restarting: If the same action list contains both actions, place Stop Speed Tracking before Start Speed Tracking.
