Video is in German, it shows off the ability to scan mineables and other players.
From the video it doesn’t look like it works for dropped items or ships.
CIG has talked about armor sets specialized with different features.
We have combat specialized helmets now that help you to see your cross-hair/kills.
This looks like an early iteration towards scanning specialized armor sets.
Edit: And currently only achievable by attaching your helmet to your hip.
Edit2: Video from MrKraken pointing out that this also works with the Antium Helmet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdsE5h9ENuw
Looks like I also found the character limit for Lemmy comments.
The last part cut off from the transcription was “The next part will be available soon. Subscribe!”
Whisper is an ML model (STT), so there can definitely be some issues with the translation.
It sounds like you need to attach your helmet to your hip to get it working.
The keybind should be “Alt + H” (I just don’t remember if that’s Left or Right Alt).
Are there any other armors in-game that are considered “scanning” focused armors? It might work with those as well.
Edit: Added missing line from cutoff transcription.
