OKO 2024.08
Release Scope: Web, Unity iOS, Unreal, CSP, and CHS.
Web
Client version: 2.35.0
Text Component
Editors can now add contextual notes to a space that are visible to both editors and visitors via the free-form Text Component which can be added to any OKO Entity.
While the font size, font, padding, and justification are fixed, editors have control over the following:
Text color.
Background color (with the option to have it set as transparent.)
Width and height of the 2D widget.
Other typical adjustable properties such as scale, rotation, position, etc.
As part of the work to implement the new Text Component, a font atlas was created for the new OKO font (Graphik Regular) and all in-space text was updated.
Gizmo Updates
The Web client now offers support for editors to toggle between world and local coordinate space on transform gizmos with a tooltip/icon indicating which state is currently in use.
E-commerce Updates
Previously, if an e-commerce item had a very lengthy product description then it would take over most of the UI that displays e-commerce information. Now this field has been truncated to allow for 200 characters on first view, plus a scrollable area has been introduced for descriptions that exceed this limit.
Before a user proceeds to Shopify to process their payment, they will now find the shopping cart located in the top right-hand corner. This placement aligns with common online shopping practices and is more intuitive for users. Shoppers can also now edit the contents of their cart while remaining in space by adjusting the quantity of a given item or removing an item from the cart altogether.
Additionally, the FAQ section has also been updated to include instructions on how to set up the Shopify Headless channel for e-commerce spaces. The Headless channel gives you all of Shopify's channel features, such as product publishing, scheduled product publishing, analytics, and reporting sales by channel.

Client version: 141129
Text Component
In this release comes the introduction of our brand-new Text Component! Editors can now add contextual notes to a space that are visible to both editors and visitors via the free-form Text Component which can be added to any OKO Entity.
The font size, font, padding, and justification are fixed (14px, Graphik Regular, 24px and mid-center respectively) but editors have control over the following:
Text color.
Background color (with the option to have it set as transparent).
Width and height of the 2D widget.
Other typical adjustable properties such as scale, rotation, position, etc.
Upgrade to UE 5.2
It’s official, Unreal has upgraded to UE 5.2! Following on from previous work to upgrade the GLTF exporter, the team then continued to upgrade the OKO plugin and the OKO sample plugin to 5.2. So if you haven’t already, now is the time to double-check your disk space to start downloading the 5.2 version of Unreal. But don’t get too settled, as work on upgrading to UE 5.3 is already underway.
E-commerce
Following initial implementation on the Web client, e-commerce icons in Unreal are now color customizable.
Creators can specify background and foreground colors for the icon which will be replicated across all icons placed within a given space.
Notes: In order to see color changes applied on other clients, you need to exit/re-enter the space on those clients (or refresh in web). This is because colors are stored as space metadata, which are only retrieved on entering the space (same as Web).
Miscellaneous
Added copyright to all header files in the OKO plugin in order to protect our OKO Unreal codebase before we look to open-source it.
Updated the environment switcher to be able to connect to the new CHS environments.
