How to add NPCs with SightLab VR for Vizard
#Avatars #SightLab #VRexperiment
Avatar agents or NPCs (non-player characters) are avatars in the scene that don't represent an actual user, but rather an agent in the scene that is controlled by code or AI and can act out scenes or interact with users.
Here are the steps on how to add one to your SightLab experiment
