New Locations
We’ve added 2 new locations as part of this update, the hospital and the virtual campus, giving you more choice in where to host your events based on your needs.
Gizmo Feature
As part of this release, we have also optimized our gizmo feature for better performance and usability. This allows you to move 3D objects (IFX) around your chosen environment easier. We’ve implemented a snap-to-ground function with an updated interface design.
There’s also a magnet mode which provides better control for both position and rotation. Additional input modes allow you to adjust movements using analog sticks and mouse wheel commands

We’re providing early access to our cloud file manager. Users now can save and upload any files to the cloud that are created inside ENGAGE. They also can upload and manage multiple types of media files & use them inside an ENGAGE session.
NOTE – Access to this new beta feature will be limited for initial rollout to approved beta testers only.
We’ve also made some improvements and fixed some bugs as part of this release. To find out more about this update you can visit our release notes page.
