Street Preview for experiences or routes from the Authoring Tool #39

Open jchudge opened 1 month ago

jchudge commented 1 month ago

Provide the ability to virtually preview a route or an experience generated from the Authoring Tool. This will enable, for example, O&M specialists, to support their clients more effectively by virtue of being able to familiarise themselves with a route, or a section of a route, as part of their skills development.

Important feature to include is the spatialisation of call-outs in the virtual experience!

@jchudge can you post a simple authored experience to use as a test case for this, and a pointer to documentation on how to load it, for whoever ends up trying a hand at this?

Some technical thoughts on how this could be done: Authored activities and street preview are two different "callout behaviors" in Soundscape, found within apps/ios/GuideDogs/Code/Behaviors/ under "Guided Tour" and "Preview" respectively. We could create a new "Guided Tour Preview" behavior that merges these two. Although it won't be trivial, the code for these two behaviors are fairly self-contained into a small number of files, which might make them easy for even a new person to wrap their mind around.
