Whirligig 5.770 - Minor updates and Multi Monitor tutorial and updates

Hi Everyone

We're in the new year now. Lets see what 202 has in store. Hopefully good things but who knows.

So this is the first beta release of the year. It's got some updates based on feedback, bug fixers and I've made a tutorial over the Multi Monitor feature.

Updates

  • Sorting has been improved to match the order that Windows does for alphabetic ordering.

  • Movement improved to take advantage of the thumbsticks when mapped to them.

  • Added "Reset Position" to inputs to make it easier to get back to the middle.

  • Some translation issues fixed.

  • Update of Unity engine.

Multi Monitor

Monitor monitor was added to Whirligig to find a way to create a real world mapped environment for a severely disabled person who family wanted them to be able to see places they would never be able to visit.The system is very difficult to demonstrate as I don't have 4 projectors and a video camera to film it. So I've filmed it in Unity where you can see the output to all the monitors and hopefully that'll make it easier to understand.

And Finally

So I hope you like the video and find the updates usefully. As always, let me know if you have suggestions for features, bugs and positive reviews are always helpful :)Until next time, happy watching and a happy new year.

Phil
