Guided tours, prompts and avatars
How guided tours, prompts, and avatars work in MarTech3D apps
MarTech3D supports guided tours, on-screen prompts, and optional avatar guides to help users explore your 3D environment with clarity and confidence β even without a live presenter.
This feature is perfect for sales experiences, trade shows, training apps, or onboarding journeys where users need a structured path or friendly guidance.
π§ What is a guided tour?
A guided tour is a predefined journey through your app that:
- Moves the camera through specific scenes or viewpoints
- Displays step-by-step instructions or tooltips
- Plays audio or voiceover at each stop
- Triggers animations, hotspot reveals, or product swaps
- Ends with a call to action or summary panel
You can build multiple guided tours for different use cases or personas.
β¨ What kind of prompts can be shown?
During the tour, you can display:
- π¬ Speech bubbles or captions with explanations
- π βNextβ and βBackβ buttons for user control
- π§ Tooltips over products or features
- β Checklists or progress bars
- π₯ Inline videos, images, or document previews
Prompts can be visual only, voice-only, or combined β and positioned anywhere in the scene or UI.
π§βπ« Can I add an avatar?
Yes β you can add a static or animated avatar character to act as a virtual guide.
Options include:
- π§ A photo-realistic or stylised person
- π£οΈ Lip-synced voiceovers or animated gestures
- π§ Role-based guides (e.g. technician, presenter, trainer)
- π Floating or fixed-position avatars (e.g. corner assistant or in-scene host)
Avatars are optional β they can be turned off or replaced with branding elements depending on audience preference.
ποΈ How are guided tours controlled?
Guided tours can be:
- Started manually by the user (e.g. βStart tourβ button)
- Triggered automatically on app load (useful for first-time users or events)
- Paired with audio narration, hotspots, and camera animations
Users can pause, skip, repeat, or exit the tour at any time.
π§ Why use guided tours?
- Great for first-time users or trade show visitors
- Supports self-led sales and marketing experiences
- Enables interactive training or product onboarding
- Keeps users focused and helps reduce friction
- Works even when no team member is present to guide the experience
π Online and offline support
Guided tours, prompts, and avatars work fully in both:
- π Online browser-based apps
- π₯οΈ Offline apps via the MaRtech3D Launcher for Windows
You can sync updates to change tour content anytime.
