About image hotspots
Image Hotspots make it possible to create an image with interactive hotspots. When the user presses a hotspot, a popup containing a header and text or video is displayed. Using the H5P editor, you may add as many hotspots as you like. The following are configurable:
- The number of hotspots
- The placement of each hotspot, and the associated popup content
- The color of the hotspot to ensure there is enough contrast for it to stand out in the image
Use case
Image hotspots can be useful for creating infographics fast and simple. Use any image and enrich it with points of interest and in-depth information about the details depicted. The user is activated by interacting with the image.
