Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for OpenSpace/OpenSpace focused on two high-impact, user-facing improvements in the interactive workflow. Delivered a robust bug fix to the fade-out interaction to ensure objects are disabled at the end of the fade, preventing post-fade interaction glitches. Implemented a UX enhancement for drag-and-drop in the web browser module by introducing a pointing-hand cursor via GLFW, providing clearer visual feedback and reducing mis-clicks during scene setup. These changes contribute to more reliable interactive scenes, improved user productivity, and better overall software quality.
