Release Update – June 2023

Ken BrueckBlog, Release notes

This release has several quality of life enhancements, including changes to the measure tool, increasing usability during screen resizing, directly entering numbers in the properties panel, and some exciting, long-requested updates to generic screens!

Updates to generic screens

The generic projection screen has been given new mounting options, new screen materials, masking, and more! We’ve also added a generic dropdown screen and video wall!

Measure tool update

Quickly measure the distance between two arbitrary points in seconds! Switch to the measure tool, point at the first location, and hold the trigger, and point to the second location!

Numeric entry widget

Many UIs now allow manual entry of numeric values for greater precision. Widgets that support this have a clickable gray box behind the number.

Screen interaction update

All screens have been upgraded with additional handles for adjusting the screen size diagonal directly. These also respect incremental size settings, making it incredibly easy to get to a specific screen size!

Collapsible sections

Manage more complex UIs and get options out of the way with collapsible sections! Most sections in the VR UI can be collapsed now.

Welcome Neat

We’ve added their entire line, including the Neat Bar, Neat Bar Pro, Neat Board, Neat Pad, and Neat Frame!

Welcome Jupiter

We’ve added both of their incredible ultra-wide 21:9 displays, the Pana 81 and Pana 105.

AVTeq updates

We’ve added AVTeq’s versatile classroom mobile display cart and their 2-bay and 3-bay credenzas, available in standard and thin depths!
