Booking Add-On – disable opening / closing hours from booking
Due to multiple reasons (as example, having a lot of foot traffic), you may want to hide periods of the day from your booking widgets. To avoid creating new experience type with different hours and extra logic that may complicate your setup, you can simply extend the booking widget with some custom code. To make it even easier for you, we already built that code and simplified it to the possible minimum. You may want to hide times based on day of the week or based on experience type (or both together). For that purpose, you have to build your logic and few lines of javascript code. Considering the days of week are: Monday => 1 Tuesday => 2 Wednesday => 3 Thursday => 4 Friday => 5 Saturday => 6 Sunday => 7 If you want to hide options from the widgets for only Monday + Thursday + Sunday, then you’ll have to use the following combination: 1,4,7 If it is to apply for Monday to Thursday, then use: 1,2,3,4 Next, you need your experience type ID (can be found on the Experience Types management page). Let say you work with the default “Immersive” experience type => 1 Then, your rule will looks like this: 1_1,4,7 => the _ character is used as a separator between the experience type and the days of the week 1 => in this case, you don’t have any specified days, so we assume your rule apply everyday *_1,2,3,4 => applies for ALL experience types between Monday ot Thursday Note: you can’t list multiple experience types separated by comma. You have to create multiple rules instead. You can use asterisk (*) to apply the rule for all your experience types What the actual code looks like: Default line (no changes on it): window.svr.hideTimes = new Object(); [‘hide_before’,’hide_after’].forEach(function(i){ window.svr.hideTimes[i] = new Object(); }); Your rules: window.svr.hideTimes[“hide_before”][“*_1,2,3,4”] = “13:00”; window.svr.hideTimes[“hide_before”][“1”] = “14:00”; window.svr.hideTimes[“hide_after”][“*”] = “20:00″; All your rules have to be enclosed in a <script> tag. You also have to load the actual custom logic: <script src=”//api.synthesisvr.com/widgetPlugins/skipTimeOptions.js” crossorigin=”anonymous”></script> Examples 1) If you don’t want to accept bookings before 1pm and after 8pm: <script> window.svr.hideTimes = new Object(); [‘hide_before’,’hide_after’].forEach(function(i){ window.svr.hideTimes[i] = new Object(); }); window.svr.hideTimes[“hide_before”][“*”] = “13:00”; window.svr.hideTimes[“hide_after”][“*”] = “20:00″; </script> <script src=”//api.synthesisvr.com/widgetPlugins/skipTimeOptions.js” crossorigin=”anonymous”></script> Example 2) To skip late booking (after 6pm) for the Immersive experience type during the busy days (Friday to Sunday): <script> window.svr.hideTimes = new Object(); [‘hide_before’,’hide_after’].forEach(function(i){ window.svr.hideTimes[i] = new Object(); }); window.svr.hideTimes[“hide_after”][“*_5,6,7”] = “18:00″; </script> <script src=”//api.synthesisvr.com/widgetPlugins/skipTimeOptions.js” crossorigin=”anonymous”></script> You need to append the final code to the “Add HTML before the BODY tag closure” option under the Booking Widget settings (the Edit button).

Games Not Launching
This is likely due to a new EULA requiring accepting. There are two ways to get past this. Method 1: When a customer is in a session and a game doesn’t launch, go into the Access Point app, choose settings, and then check the “Disable Steam Lock” option. Have the customer navigate to the “Steam” bubble at the bottom of the menus and they should see the new EULA which they can accept. Once they accept. the game will launch. You should then uncheck the “Disable Steam Lock”. Method 2: Open the Steam App. Click on the Steam Menu Button at the top left and choose exit (versus exiting with the X button in the top right): Launch Steam again and when it loads up, go to your Library and find the game in question. Launch the game through the Steam Library and you will be presented with the EULA that you can accept and the game will launch.

Command Calls – Create/Execute Custom Scripts & Commands
Required version: 3.9.6 Overview: As LBVR progress through the years, we sees a good number of new VR related hardware coming to the market. Often, to ensure fast and flawless operation, the new hardware have to be integrated in Synthesis. As long as we are working toward native support for as much hardware as possible (KATVR + KAT I/O as an example), we feel there is so much more you could achieve if you have the right tools to unleash your creativity. This is what the “Command Calls” are purposed for. Working with hardware in LBVR normally comes down to 4 simple events: An extra 5th event is -> manual actionsWhat if you could write a simple code in ANY programming language and attach it to any of the 4+1 events? Idea 1) You can turn the Graphic Card color to RED when the station is occupied and back to GREEN when its free Idea 2) In a conversation with the studio behind an upcoming game title utilizing the “fear of height” (like Richie’s Plank Experience), we came up to the idea it will be great if they could send a simple UDP START message when a person is falling down and STOP when the person “reach the destination” 🙂 If the develop do this (which is pretty easy for them), we’ll develop a very tiny open source app that will let you catch the START/STOP states and convert that to turning the power on/off for one the PC USB ports. On that port, you could attach a USB powered fan and that will have a great impact to the customer immersion with a very tiny investment on your end. Idea 3) If you are running hydraulic racing simulators, you have to use SimTools. What if SimTools can be taken care of by a script or by a direct call to the SimTools executable? Idea 4) Start the Vive Wireless Adapter software along with the session and stop it once the session is over. The “Command Calls” event system makes it all possible. Setup Guide: Example: In our example, the content of the startcmd.bat file is: For test purposes, you can attach it to a session start. Then, the opposite endcmd.bat will be: As result, Notepad and the Windows Calculator will open upon start of the session and close along with the session end.
Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)
What Is SCA Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is a mechanism to fight online fraud and, as of September 14th, 2019, is mandatory in the European Economic Area (EEA). By enabling SCA, Synthesis will pass additional information to the payment processor, which will pass that information to card issuer. The issuer may request additional information through a 3D Security process. Square https://developer.squareup.com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-strong-customer-authentication-sca/Setup steps: Login to your Square account: https://squareup.com/login?app=developer&return_to=https://developer.squareup.com/apps Go to your application details: Scroll down to “API Version” and click on the “Change Version” button. Select the latest version and save the change. Edit your SynthesisVR web widgets and change the “Template Version” to 6 or newer. Important: any customer profiles created prior migrating to SCA may (or may not) require re-authentication – it is up to the card issuer. If an automated payment is failing, your customers have to access one of your booking widgets, progress to step 3 and “Edit” and save their CC information. Stripe Details Coming Soon
