Epochs

This section is currently under construction. Please reach out if you require any assistance

Epoch Icon Epochs are the different parts or segments of an Experience Icon Experiences. They break Experience Icon Experiences into individual, modular and manageable phases, much like levels in a video game or chapters in a book. Each Epoch Icon Epoch can be composed of various Epoch Icon Epoch Objects. There are four different Object types that can be added to an Epoch Icon Epoch: Participant Icon Participants, Scenescape Icon Scenescapes, Screen Icon Screens and Interactive Icon Interactives.

Epoch Icon Epochs are sequenced or chained together to form a Experience Icon Experience. Use On Start Icon On Start to trigger Responses before the start of the Epoch Icon Epoch, and create Termination Conditions Icon Termination Conditions to set how the Epoch Icon Epoch can end. Use Branching Conditions Icon Branches to control the continuation of the Experience Icon Experience after the Epoch Icon Epoch terminates.

Everytime you create an Epoch Icon Epoch, it will open its editor where you will find the set of tabs presented below. Click on each one to learn more about its functionality!
On Start

On Start

From this tab you can trigger Icon Responses at the start of the Epoch Icon Epoch. This is useful if you need to execute an action right when the participant enters the Epoch Icon Epoch such as triggering haptic feedback to inform participants the Experience Icon Experience has started or playing a sound. It is also useful to reset Variable Icon Variables, ensuring the Experience Icon Experience is correctly setup for the new trial.

Additionally, from this tab, you can save your Experience Icon Experience data to the cloud and enable audio recording during the experience.
