The following improvements have been made:

  1. ​
    Expanded Training Mode Support

    DID feature is no longer limited to Practice mode. It has been expanded to include it when the training is run in Assessment mode as well. It can now be enabled in
    1. Practice only mode
    2. Assessment only mode
    3. Or both, so the scenarios remain consistent across both Practice and Assessment modes.

  2. ​
    Custom Instruction Prompts

    When DID is enabled on a node, the creator has the option to provide the trainee with custom instructions text. Voice-over Generation - An option to generate voice-overs for this instruction text is also available.

  3. ​
    Tailored Error Messaging

    The error messages shown when the DID criteria is not met is customizable now. The creator can provide an error message that will be shown during the training, and voice-overs can be generated for this as well.

​
DID UI and configuration in the Portal

For every node, DID settings can be configured in the properties window under the DID section as shown below: In the properties window for a node, when the Event Type is set to Tap, Manipulate or Lever Arm Rotate, and the DID property row is expanded the creator can enable DID properties by checking the Delay Instructions check box.
Note: When the Delay Instructions check box is unchecked, all the DID related property fields are disabled.

​
DID Properties

On expanding all the fields, the DID section of the properties window will appear as follows:

​
Training Mode

Select a value for the Training Mode Depending on the Training Mode selected, the DID functionality will either run in Practice mode or Assessment mode or in both the modes in the Altoura Client.

​
Delay Interval and Wrong Interaction Count

Enter the required values for Delay Interval and Wrong Interaction Count. One or both of these values can be set. These two values are used to control when the Display Text Panel will appear in the Altoura Client.

Delay IntervalEnter the amount of time (e.g. seconds) the system has to wait for the trainee to complete the action defined for the node.

Wrong Interaction CountSpecify how many inccorect attempts the trainee may take to complete the action defined for the node before the Dispaly Text Panel is shown.

Configuring both the valuesIf both the values are configured, whichever threshold is hit first - the elasped delay or the number of wrong attempts will trigger the display of the Display Text Panel.

​
Instructions Text

Enter text under Instructions Text field. This text will be displayed to the trainee when they enter the DID node.
Samples for this text could be
  • You have 60 seconds to replace this filter
  • You have 2 attempts to select the right filter.
Voiceover- Use the Convert Text to Speech button to generate an Audio file for the entered text. The voice type used for this audio file will be the same voice type that is set for the experience. The creator can also choose to upload a pre-recorded audio file.

​
Error Message Text

Enter text under the Error Message Text field. This message will be displayed to the trainee when the DID condition fails.
Samples for this text could be
  • The allotted time to replace the filter has elapsed.
  • The 2 permitted attempts to select the right filter have been utilized.
Voiceover- Use the Convert Text to Speech button to generate an Audio file for the entered text. The voice type used for this audio file will be the same voice type that is set for the experience. The creator can also choose to upload a pre-recorded audio file.
Notes: When the voice type of the experience is changed, and the Convert Text to Speech button is clicked, the audio generated will be in the newly set voice type of the experience. However, in this release when the Generate Audio - All Nodes/Updated Nodes feature of an experience is used, the audio files will not be regenerated for the DID text configured in the nodes. This has to be regenerated manually for the above 2 fields under the DID properties.

​
Customizing the Wrong Object Interaction Message

By default, when a user interacts with the wrong object in a DID node or any Assessment node, the system displays the message in English as “You selected the wrong object, please try again.” To localize this message into another language, you can use a custom JSON action in the first connector of the node. Follow these steps:
  • Add a JSON Connector Action to the first connector of the node.
  • Use the following format to define the localized message:
 { "WrongObjectInteractionMessage": "Has seleccionado el objeto incorrecto, por favor intenta de nuevo." }
