DataMesh Director Gets a Major Upgrade: The New “Storyline”

As the flagship product of the FactVerse platform, DataMesh Director has been widely used in industries like manufacturing and operations & maintenance. This powerful tool, a PPT-like 3D MR instruction creator for training and guidance, has proven to be invaluable for employee training and product presentations.

Now, DataMesh Director is getting a major upgrade with some exciting new features! The most noteworthy addition is the all-new “Storyline” tool in DataMesh Studio, designed to simplify the creation of complex, large-scale scenarios and further boost efficiency. Additionally, the new version brings several optimizations to model preprocessing and viewer experience.

Many companies are already using DataMesh Director to achieve no-code development of XR training materials, leveraging intuitive 3D guidance to enhance training efficiency and reduce costs. However, when it comes to large exhibition projects or complex operational instructions, creating and managing multiple scenes and their transitions can become cumbersome. That’s where Storyline steps in.

The Storyline tool is specifically designed to help creators organize and manage large, branching scenarios by visually mapping out the entire flow. This makes it much easier to visualize, edit, and collaborate on complex scenarios, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of errors.

What is the “Storyline” Feature?

Storyline is a new scenario editing tool that provides a visual outline editor, helping users map out and manage the logical relationships between different chapters of the scenarios. Here’s how it works:

Story Nodes: Each story node is like a directory entry that links to a specific chapter of the scenario, representing the content that will be presented at that stage.
Connections: These link nodes together in a defined sequence, showing the flow of the story.
Transition Points: These mark the conditions that trigger different paths in the scenario. With Storyline, users can easily set and adjust these triggers to create a branching narrative.

By placing and connecting these nodes on the canvas, users can quickly organize and adjust the sequence of their content, making large-scale scenario creation much more convenient.

Benefits of Using Storyline

Streamlined Team Collaboration: Storyline makes it easy for teams to work on different sections of a project simultaneously. For example, a complex operational guidance scenario that would usually take hours to create can now be divided into smaller scenarios, with team members working in parallel and then connecting via Storyline. The final content may be finished within an hour.

Clear Plot Flow & Easy Adjustments: As training content evolves—due to product updates, safety protocol changes, new tools, or other changes—Storyline makes it easy to locate and modify specific chapters without having to sift through entire scenes. Since modifications are contained to individual scenarios, making changes has minimal impact on the overall content.

Increased Reusability: For recurring scenes, such as “Correct Answer” or “Incorrect Answer” scenes in a safety test scenario, users can now easily link them to different nodes instead of recreating them each time. Similarly, for scenes that are similar but require slight adjustments—like showcasing server information in different cabinets—users can simply duplicate the original cabinet scenario, update the server details, and generate a new version. These updated scenarios can then be seamlessly connected through Storyline, eliminating the need to re-edit every individual scene. This dramatically reduces the time and effort spent on content creation.

Typical Use Cases of Storyline

Given its strengths, Storyline is particularly effective for managing scenarios with multiple scenes, branching paths, and complex transitions. Here are some typical use cases:

Large-Scale Exhibitions: Create independent scenarios for different areas or exhibits, then use Storyline to plan a smooth “tour path” for visitors, ensuring a coherent and engaging experience.

Complex Operational Guidance: Break down complicated processes into smaller, manageable parts, allowing multiple team members to work concurrently, and then use Storyline to link these parts together, significantly saving time.

Training and Assessment: Use Storyline to plan the exam outline and bind corresponding question scenarios to achieve efficient test organization.

More Enhancements in DataMesh Director 7.2

In addition to the Storyline feature, the latest version of DataMesh Director brings several improvements to the user experience:

Material Editing Panel Upgrade: The updated DataMesh Importer makes it easier than ever to adjust model materials like transparency, metalness, and color, streamlining your workflow.

Model Usability Algorithm Upgrade: DataMesh Importer 7.2 adds model usability display for Apple Vision Pro and Quest 3, allowing users to view how models perform on these devices, offering better insights into their performance.

Anchor Positioning: To address the issue of some devices being unable to scan for positioning, DataMesh One 7.2 introduces Anchor Positioning, where users can use a virtual positioning code to anchor a specific location and orientation in the real world, enabling precise real-world mapping without the need for printed positioning QR codes.

Tap on devices to view real-time operational data

How Inspector Assists in Fault Troubleshooting:

A maintenance engineer receives an order or system alert (which can be directly pushed through Inspector).
Upon arriving at the site, the engineer launches Inspector and scans the location code to immediately project the MR scene onto the fault area.
In MR mode, the engineer views digital twins and real-time operational data of the equipment and facilities, performing an initial fault assessment.
The engineer checks the business logic connections, control ranges, and impact scopes of the facilities, pinpointing key issues.

Business logic relationships between devices are clear in MR, aiding on-site diagnostics

The engineer consults maintenance documentation within Inspector to further analyze and confirm the fault, then fills out the maintenance work order.
The engineer uploads the data, fault causes, and other information collected on-site to the system via Inspector, completing the entire process from fault reporting to MR-assisted inspection, troubleshooting, and subsequent repair.

Use Case: Air Conditioning Troubleshooting in an Office Building

Problem Discovery:
The property management team of an office building received a tenant complaint about a lack of cool air from an air conditioning vent. Maintenance engineer Mr. Wang was dispatched to investigate.

On-Site MR Inspection:
Upon arrival, Wang launched Inspector to locate potential fault points with mixed reality, checking the FCU controller and air conditioning distribution box above the ceiling. These components are typically difficult to inspect directly, but with Inspector’s MR mode, Wang could clearly identify their actual positions and statuses.

Fault Localization in MR Mode:

Wang tapped on the digital twins of the faulty equipment to view real-time data and quickly identified an abnormal temperature at the vent.
By further examining the device information and its relationships with other equipment, he realized that the vent was downstream of a fan coil unit (FCU) controlled by an FCU controller.
Wang checked the current operational data of the FCU controller and the fan coil unit in the MR scene, and noticed that FCU controller appeared to be functioning correctly, but the fan coil unit showed abnormal cooling capacity, leading Wang to suspect an issue with the fan coil unit.
Further inspection revealed a circuit breaker issue with the fan coil unit, preventing the FCU controller from controlling it, thus identifying the root cause of the fault.

Document-Aided Analysis:
To confirm the problem, Wang accessed relevant technical documents directly within Inspector and obtained the standard repair procedure for such issues.

Work Order Submission:
Finally, Wang recorded the fault details and suggested solutions in the work order and uploaded it to the system, completing the fault diagnosis in significantly less time than traditional methods, ensuring a smooth repair process.

In this case, and many others, DataMesh Inspector helps maintenance engineers efficiently locate fault causes and assess their impact, allowing them to develop targeted repair plans—reducing the time required for fault diagnosis and resolution, accelerating the repair process, and enhancing overall building and facility availability. Ultimately, this improves tenant and owner satisfaction with the building.
