DESCRIPTION

Spatial UI Systems is a 100% blueprint powered collection of 3D UI elements in Unreal Engine. Built with a primary focus on modularity and ease of use, the template demonstrates the working of four different types of in-world UI systems:

• Projected Texts: Guide the player through texts overlaid on the environment
  
• Action Texts: Provide visual cues to identify interactive objects
• Nameplates: Display information about in-game characters
• Projected Videos: Use in-world video projections to provide narrative exposition without breaking immersion

Embed UI elements within the 3D game space to reduce or even completely negate menu transitions during gameplay, and thus create more immersive experiences.

Modular components are employed throughout the toolkit to minimize coupling and maximize ease of customization. All blueprints are extensively commented, with sample maps included to showcase examples of how to set up each of the four UI systems.

FAQ

1. Are the Projected UI elements using widgets for displaying information?

A. No, they employ the use of decals instead of a traditional widget-based approach. While widgets render perfectly on a flat plane, they are not suitable for use on uneven surfaces. Decals, on the other hand, come with inbuilt support to handle such scenarios.
