In the most general sense, a spot is a location. This may be a geographic position, a room, or an object inside a building. In the context of Blocks, a spot is often related to some media, such as a sound or a video, relevant at that location. While a spot may simply be a location, it is frequently also associated with some equipment, such as a display, touch kiosk or a theater.
Referring to the illustration above, here are the spot types you’ll encounter in Blocks:
- A Visitor spot in the form of a visitor carrying a personal, mobile device.
- A Location Spot associated with an object or a position, in this case the car.
- A touch kiosk based on a Display Spot showing an interactive block.
- A theater with a wide screen show, where a WATCHOUT Spot provides synchronized audio through visitors’ mobile devices.
- A regular Display Spot, playing video, images or other content produced in Blocks. Again, synchronized audio in multiple languages can be provided through visitors’ mobile devices.
