Augmented Reality

Hello,   Completely new to all of this and am trying to put together a use case for sharing computational fluid dynamic data in an AR sense.   I have a number of slices from our CFD package saved as .png images.  I can bring these into studio and "walk" round them on a mobile device overlaying a model but I would like them bound to a 2D slider widget so that when I slide the slider forwards and backwards they turn on an off.  In effect I would be sectioning the CFD data up and down a model with a slider.   If you can see the attached image you can see 4 slices correctly positioned.  When the experience loads up the first will be on and the other three not visible.  As the slider is moved to the right the first will not be visible and the next will turn on and so on allowing you to section forwards and backwards.   Many thanks for anyones help on this (or a better way of doing it!)   Thanks, Sy

Hi,   I have two questions:- 1) Can somebody let me confirm that the no of 2D/3D widgets listed under trial Vuforia instance is provided with all the widgets i.e. exact same as that for Licensed version or is there any possibility that the no of widgets present under "Licensed or Trial Vuforia" instance can vary?   2) Can we import any extension/widget in Vuforia studio? If yes, Is there any marketplace for Vuforia studio from where we can download extra extensions/widgets and import in Vuforia studio?

I would like to change the background colour of the side menu items after I've clicked them.  The screenshot below shows the colour I would like to change.   Is it pseudo element or class that I need to apply CSS?

I saw this post by @RolandRaytchev  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio-and-Chalk-Tech/How-to-create-a-custom-button-pressable-on-HoloLens-device/ta-p/654984   But was not able to locate the demo project. Everytime I tried to import the files in studio it showed the message that file does not contain studio project. Any idea where can I get that demo project.

Hello,   First of all apologies for all of the questions.  I am learning but a lot of the tutorials and other forum answers don't seem to answer the specific issues I seem to have!   I've created my first experience and I'd like to share it with my team as a proof of concept.  It is published and I can see it on my smartphone and all works well.  When I share a link to an email address the link first of all connects to the App store and then lets you download Vuforia View.  The app loads up after install but only on the default splash items and seems to have lost the link that launched it.   If the user goes back to the original email and clicks on the link again, they can now load the experience from the library but can't complete the load because it is asking for sign in credentials.  I presume it is not my credentials but rather they have to create an account but on this screen there is no obvious way of doing so.   I am keen for this fir

How to create a custom button pressable on HoloLens device? We can create a customer button/button panel on HoloLens performing the following steps: Create a model with button and panel / it could be a panel with more buttons. In this example I used Creo Parametric for the 3d model creation – I estimated for this sample model I needed  30 – 60 Minutes .   The assembly above consist of 3 parts, panel and button. The panel is a part with a pattern of hole feature - in case that we need a circular button. If we need a button with other shape we could use a pattern of cut features     Here in this example I created a button which is circular and has a text which is a cut of the top surface. To have a different button’s I created a family table where a parameter for the text was added. I used the parameter in a relation to change the text in the cut.     Later I added the panel in a new component as default placement and added to each hole

Hi,   I have a number of 3D images positioned about a model which all need to move linked to a single vertical slider along with the model.  Whilst all the model parts are positioned with the same co-ordinate datum and move correctly when using the bind method, the images are all positioned at different starting Y values and thus reset as soon as the slider is moved.   Having looked elsewhere on the board I have tried to rectify this by applying filters to each of the image bindings but when doing this the image does not move to begin with and then disappears at certain slider positions.  I presume my filter syntax is wrong so any help would be appreciated!   For reference the model parts are all positioned at Y=0.  The first 3D image is positioned at Y=0.9.  The slider setting is Min=0.  Max=2.  Step=0.2  Value=0   Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to make changes to the base theme (ie. light or dark)? I've tried editing the CSS files stored locally (twx-dark-theme.css) but when I open them in preview my changes get overwritten.

Also pls let me know what are the pre-requisites of doing above process. Please provide all the supported links and documentation also.   If any Experience Service extension is required to download then please let me know the name of that extension too.   Thanks in advance.

Hi,   I have a couple of items in the 2D border of my experience.  An image and a toggle switch.  The iamge background is transparent as set in the saved .png file and the toggle button has had it's background set to transparent in CSS as shown below.   //Button Class.my-button {font-family: Titillium Web;color: red;background-color: transparent;}   However, I am still getting these grey lines appearing between elements in the experience.  Does anyone have any idea what they are and more importantly how to turn them off!       Thanks, Sy  

Hi,   I'm trying to place a company logo in the 2D panel of my experience.  However, it won't let me resize the image or the image won't scale to suit the panel width.   I've seen another accepted answer in the forum that you can directly change the size of the image resource but I can't select it.  Where as all of the other widgets and setting in the left tool bar change the mouse icon to a finger and allow me to select them and change settings in the right tool bar, added resources don't allow me to select them and the cursor stays a text I-bar.   I am using a trial version so is this a locked out feature or am I doing something else wrong?   Thanks, Sy

Hi all,   I'm trying to load some data from Thingworx to Vuforia env, sometimes service execution takes 77-120 sec which causes time out error in Vuforia.    Is there any possible way to increase service time out  ?   Error Message: Error executing service SERVICE. Message :: Timed out APIRequestMessage [requestId: 276, endpointId: -1, sessionId: -1, method: POST, entityName: *THING@HOST, characteristic: Services, target: SERVICEForCloud]   Thanks in advance.   /VR

Is it possible that multiple people work simultaneously on same project hosted on the common server? If yes then pls explain the working guidelines for multiple users.   Thanks in advance.

I am attempting to get change the text of a widget based on the mobile devices orientation. From what I could find, the best way to do this is via Javascript. The CSS methods I found for finding orientation are quite easy, but changing the text content of a widget via CSS is another story.   I found a solution here, and have tested that using the "Studio Sample - Import 3D Data" project that comes with vuforia studio. The only thing I have added is one extra button input widget, and some Javascript code.   When I test it using a preview feature in vuforia studio, the button text only updates once. The console continually rewrites the same orientation each time I change the preview orientation or the preview screen size.  I also tested it by publishing this app and running it on an iPhone using Vuforia View. Here is gets a little better.   But It appears the experience needs to see another event, beyond orientation change, to push the button text ch

Initially i have set the opacity of model to be 0 and want it to gradually increase from 0 to 0.8 when a button is pressed using javascript. I tried do-while loop but it didn't work for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I cannot publish in vuforia eventhough i put the coreect username, password and url experience service. How can I solve it?     Thanks

Hi, I am a newbie on Vuforia Studio. I need to know how can I pass an infotable from Vuforia to ThingWorx. I have two services in ThingWorx, first is QueryData and second is UpdateData.   I managed to pass the QueryData result into Vuforia using repeater. Inside the repeater, I use grid with 2 columns. The first column is for checkbox and the second one is for label. I did this because I can't bind my column to the checkbox label.      The idea is to edit the checkbox in Vuforia and there will be a button to trigger the UpdateData service in ThingWorx. The final result is the data will be updated and stored in database. The problem is my UpdateData service requires an infotable input and I don't know how to do that in Vuforia.   Will appreciate any helps from you guys to solve this issue. Thanks!

Hi folks-- I'm interested in making an independent app that does some things and then transfers the user over to Vuforia View. I know that you can do at least a few things along these lines using a "deep link" of the form:   https://view.vuforia.com/command/<some command here>?<commmand params here>   For example, you can open Vuforia View and load a specific experience with something like this (which you can see on the "Share Experience" menu in Vuforia Studio:   https://view.vuforia.com/command/view-experience?url=...   I'd like to find out what the complete list of supported commands is. I know there's also command to set the experience service URL. Are there others? Is this documented somewhere? --Clay

I have created some sequences in creo illustrate 6.0 and have been using the following code to run them:     $scope.sodium = function () { $scope.view.wdg['model-1']['sequence'] = "app/resources/Uploaded/l-Creo 3D - Figure 1.pvi"; angular.element(document.getElementById('model-1')).scope().play(); }; $scope.chlorine = function () { $scope.view.wdg['model-1']['sequence'] = "app/resources/Uploaded/l-Creo 3D - Figure 3.pvi"; angular.element(document.getElementById('model-1')).scope().play(); } This sequences actually run when i saw them in preview but does not work on hololens. Any idea why this is happening?
