What's in the latest iSee release?

Feature Upgrades for 2024

Security and Performance

  • Unity version upgrade to maintain long term security support

  • Security patches

  • Machine load reduction - reduces iSee CPU/GPU usage when using other applications and low quality settings

  • Network dropout resistance - resistant to network dropouts of up to 80 seconds for better performance on satellite connections

iSee Boards Upgrade

  • Board menus repositioning - so that they resize better and don’t block content

  • Audio file playback - audio files can now be directly uploaded and played on boards

  • Weblinks - can now put weblinks on boards that open in the system browser when clicked

Teacher Aids

  • Student holding pattern mode - students can’t communicate when teachers not present in the session so sessions can be left in the ‘Active’ state

  • Save and share zone content (restricted release) - can save the 3D and board content setup for a zone to a file that can be shared with others

  • Autosave chat - chat messages for the last month are automatically stored on the teachers machine and can be downloaded at any time

  • User activity data stored on server - all interaction metadata for boards, chat and 3D objects now stored in the iSee database

  • Board access and delete controls - boards can now be frozen/unfrozen and mass deleted from zones and sessions similar to 3D objects

  • Teacher laser pointer colour - teacher’s laser pointer can now be matched to their avatar colour

  • Notifications sounds - user can now toggle if they want an entry ‘ping’ for others entering the session

  • Student surname truncation on avatar for public video recordings

  • Auto-arrange bugfix
