Vuforia Engine v10.9.3

 

Bugfixes / Features 

 

Model Target Generator

  • We introduced new Tracking Optimization options for Model Targets that replace the previous Motion Hint and Tracking Mode. Select between Default and optimization for Low Feature Object tracking, which is useful for cars and other reflective objects with smooth surfaces and few features.

    • 3D scans are now automatically detected during Model Target generation and no longer need to be specified explicitly.
    • Power saving features are now activated by choosing the Engine-wide camera mode preset OPTIMIZED_SPEED.
  • We completely reworked how Advanced Views are specified in the Model Target Generator. Most importantly, we added a new workflow for defining User Volumes that specify where a user can be when initializing tracking of an Advanced Model Target. This is particularly useful in cases where the user can only operate close to a large object (for example, underneath a car servicing it, or inside a truck looking at the dashboard) and cannot get the full target into view to initialize tracking
  • When opening an existing project in the Model Target Generator, the project will be upgraded to a new format, making it incompatible with older MTG versions. Please make a backup of any project you still want to use in an older MTG.
  • Copying unsupported (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _, -) characters as a name for Model Targets or databases is no longer accepted. An error is now shown when the name is not conformant.
  • Fixed a bug in the Windows Offline Model Target Generator where it produced invalid datasets when provided with a glTF file where the .bin file is missing.
  • The Model Target Generator increased the number of Model Targets and Guide Views that can be added to a training.
  • Fixed an issue in Windows MTG preventing JT import when JT import filters for Creo View are installed on the host.
  • Fixed an issue in the MTG where Standard Model Targets did not show the Guide View previews when imported into the Unity Editor.

  • Fixed an issue that showed the wrong error messages when the target generation fails.

Bugfixes / Features 

 

Model Target Generator

  • An issue has been fixed where Advanced View presets where not applied correctly for some models in the Model Target Generator.
  • An issue has been fixed where model simplification introduced “stray vertices” and random long triangles in the simplified mesh. If your model was affected by this issue, upgrade to MTG 10.5.5. and re-create your Model Target from scratch to resolve that problem.
  • An issue has been fixed where previously trained databases where no longer showing up as ready to Export after upgrading to MTG 10.4.4. Upgrade to MTG 10.5.5 to export these databases again without re-training them.

Bugfixes / Features 

 

Model Target Generator

  • Model Target Simplification in the MTG is now available to all users, not just those with a paid Vuforia Engine license.
  • Model Target datasets generated with the Vuforia MTG version 10.0 are significantly smaller than before. Advanced Model Target datasets are reduced to approx. 50% of their previous size, while standard, untrained Model Targets will be reduced to about 20% or their previous dataset size. To benefit from these advantages use the latest Vuforia Engine SDK 10.0 in combination with targets generated with the MTG 10.0.
  • Fixed an issue in the Model Target Generator where non-meter models failed advanced training.
  • Fixed an issue in the Model Target Generator apparent during reopening a project with a running simplification.
  • Fixed an issue in the MTG where the export button for trained dataset was sometimes greyed out after successful download.
