The Layers tab in ICE Igloo Control Panel gives a single screen view of the current layers in the workspace and provides contextual UI controls per layer. This tutorial guides you through using the Layer tab with some example sessions.
...
For the first example, load the Video Example session using either the Desktop UI or Canvas UI.
Next run ICE Igloo Control Panel on your chosen device.

Note that the Layers tab has been designed to work well on monitors and tablets and is not currently optimised for smartphone screens. The following message will be shown for smartphone devices: The layers tab is coming soon for smaller devices. |
Video Example
...
With the Video Example session loaded, the video layer should appear in the Layers tab as shown below.

Note that the Home layer and Background layer are not shown in the list of layers, and this matches the behaviour of the Canvas UI. |
Explore the controls by starting and stopping the video, hiding and showing the video layer and muting and unmuting the volume.
...
You can also adjust the scale and position of the layer by clicking the properties button and then select Geometry. Use the sliders to move and resize the video layer.
...
Next press the Home icon in the top-right of the Layers tab. This will clear the Video layer from the workspace and display the homescreen.
...
Note that despite the layers being WebView type layers, the contextual UI for both the ‘Streetview - Control’ and ‘Streetview - Pano’ layers is the same as the Streetview App page (from the Apps tab). This behaviour saves the user from needing to switch from the Layers tab to the Apps tab when loading Streetview or Matterport sessions.

The ability method to define custom control pages for a layer is via by using the layer’s metadata field, for more details see Metadata |
