Hotspot Image/ Video (03_06)
The “Hotspot Image/Video” module displays an image or video with interactable hotspots that can be freely positioned by the editor. These hotspots can either open a layer (small window) or a link.
Descriptions can be added to the layers, which are displayed when interacting with the hotspot. It is possible to interact either by clicking or by mouseover.
This module is particularly suitable for displaying and describing detailed technical visualizations.
