Tour Guide

Introduction

In this guide, you'll learn how to bring your AI avatars to life by turning them into dynamic tour guides within immersive 3D environments.

We’ll walk you through how to:

• Set up a tour-guide simulation

• Define interaction behaviors

• Add tour points

• Manage the tour flow

• Preview and publish the experience

Step by Step Guide

1. Setting Up Tour Guide Mode

1. Select your avatar to open the Edit & Publish menu.

2. Locate the Tour Planner Settings section.

3. Set up your Tour Prompts – these define what the avatar says at the start and end of the tour.

Example Prompts:

• Welcome Prompt: “Hi there! Ready to explore the fire station?” → Greet the user, introduce yourself, and invite them to start the tour.

• End Prompt: “That’s the end of the tour. Hope you had fun!” → Ask if the user has any questions, answer them, then say goodbye.

2. Defining Behavior

Choose how your avatar initiates the tour:

• Wait for Player: Avatar stays still and waits until the user approaches.

• Engage on Sight: Avatar detects the user visually and initiates conversation.

• Max (Timed Engagement): Avatar starts interacting after a set period of user inactivity.

3. Adding Tour Points

1. Click “Add Tour Point” — a green gizmo will appear in the scene.

2. Use the XYZ axes or click the flag icon to position the tour marker.

3. Enter a Tour Point Name (e.g., “Fire Truck”).

4. Add an Objective describing what the avatar will explain or do at this point (e.g., “Describe the fire truck and its role in emergencies.”).

5. Repeat this process to build a full tour path.

4. Managing the Tour

• To remove a tour point, click the gizmo and hit the X icon.

• Under User Elements, click “Set User Starting Point” to define where the player begins.

• Click “Save Narrative Graph” to save your tour configuration.

• Use Preview to test the experience.

• Click Publish when you're ready to share your tour.
