OKO 2023.04
Date: 25th April 2023
Client versions: Unity 1.0.4, Web RC 2.3.5, Unreal OKO Plugin Build number 90653
Here's What's New In This Release For Unreal OKO Plugin
Pagination of the Public and Private Spaces lists has been introduced to allow users to access all available spaces rather than just the last 20 as was previously the case.
Comments left in a space are now denoted by an icon to ensure users can locate them.
Support for comment selection in a viewport has been added.
Initial work focused on converting an Unreal Reflection Actor into an OKO Reflection Component, further work was done to ensure that HDRI data from a downloaded OKO Reflection Component could be parsed back into an Unreal Reflection Actor.
A new Fog component in UE. Demonstration here.
Comments
A view of a comment icon in space and the Comment Panel
To provide editors with a quick way to view all in-space comments, a Comments Panel was added to the existing OKO mode. This displays a high-level summary of each comment in the current space and allows the user to view the full comment message as well as post replies.
Comments and their replies can also be deleted and are correctly removed from the panel.
If there are no comments associated with a space then the Comments Panel displays instructions to the user on how to create them.
Comments now have a maximum character length of 2500 which is indicated to users by showing the remaining character count. This turns red when it falls below 100 characters. See video here.
Creating a free-floating comment in Web and then viewing it in the details panel via the Unreal Editor Extension. See video here.
The comments styling has been refined and updates include showing the author's name in the top left of the comment summary, adding a summary view, and allowing comments subjects to be captured and displayed.
If a comment is selected in space, the Comments Panel will now open and show the reply view. See video here.
Instructions on how to add a comment can be found here.
Collison
For editors to be able to author engaging spaces within OKO, the creation of a new OKO collision component was essential. The only shape that is supported currently is box collision, but stay tuned for an update on sphere and capsule collision. See video here.

Here's What's New In This Release For OKO Web
Editors are now able to navigate a space and leave comments for future reference. This feature empowers creative editing between multiple users to leave real-time asynchronous feedback on a space. [Video Link]
Users are now able to chat with each other via text while in a space, Google Meets style. It can be accessed via the new Chat button on the right-side panel.
The launch of a Space Details modal provides users with a way of accessing space information. Upon selecting a space from the menu, users can now view essential details including the space's banner image, description, user access list, and administrative tools (contingent upon the local user's permissions).
Users are now able to identify a lat/long for their space and toggle a new ground image within their space that shows the exact location of their space allowing them to place assets along a pre-defined route. See the video here.
SiteView offers another view over spaces. Accessed via the pin icon in the space menu, a 2D world map is displayed helping users understand space geolocation, what’s nearby, and distance from the user.
Quicklook is available. For users who prefer to use OKO Web on iOS, they can now preview how individual assets will appear in AR via native support for Apple’s AR Quick Look.
Major Bugs We’ve Fixed…
Previously, the VCam Mode pop-up would fail to trigger when entering spaces with the Virtual Camera toggle set to on. This issue has been resolved.
