I view this similar to the trigger devices in UEFN/Fortnite creative. You might get some ideas from here: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/uefn/verse-api/fortnitedotcom/devices/trigger_device Having made the flying carpet, the interaction in construct is a real problem. This object might solve it if I can create zones onto which the user walks to direct the carpet. Clearly with more than one user on board that would fall apart but if I can send/read the ID of the triggering user (from the event) then I could filter based on a specific userID. |

This player position-probe concept could offer far more than just novelty; recognizing a player's position forms one of two critical pillars - the other being Identity - that will provide a competitive edge to countless projects through two key areas: Personalization and Automation Think about this: no IKEA in the real world can modify its store layout to cater precisely to your preferences and needs, but in the metaverse, it can. A position probe, coupled with Identity, becomes vital for this Of course, that's just one example in a sea of potential applications. Imagine the enhancements to player experiences and immersion - automated attendance proofs, checkpoint logs, access control to specified zones, or even simple conveniences like lights automatically turning on when you enter an area at night. Furthermore, with advent of potential widgets, this could lead to adaptive widgets to an extend even your iphone can't be customized. Like a scoreboard popping up when you leave an (e)sports arena, to keep following game highlights Really just trying to spark ideas here To summarize, I am all for the addition of an |

Companion animals are a point of emphasis when my kids play Minecraft, will play a critical role as AI-NPCs play increasing roles, and this type of function is an important construct in mini-game design. For this addition. |

The user position prototype in the form of npm install # in both repos
npm run link-all # in the mml repo
npm link mml-web # in the mml-playground repo
npm run iterate # in both repos.Then go to http://localhost:8080 to access the MML Playground running on your machine |

What is your idea?
The ability for JavaScript in the MML document to be able to detect a user's avatar position.
Why is it important?
This would allow building documents such as pets that follow users around, or have users trigger behaviour simply by them moving into certain regions.
What do you propose?
Introduce a
m-position-probethat allows specifying a range attribute within which a user is considered to have entered and then have the user send position updates at a customisable interval. Conceptually similar tomouseenter,mousemoveandmouseleaveevents in regular 2D HTML.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
