Hello community,I have just seen this article online: Microsoft abandons Hololens 2  This could have a HUGE impact on Vuforia Studio applications with Hololens 2. PTC, could you please give us more information about it?There will be new devices compatible with Vuforia Studio? Many thanks for considering my request.

Hi Everyone,Good Morning, I want to send data from Vuforia Studio into Thingworx but unless & untill I don't assign es-public-access to thingworx service the data is not getting transferred. So is this correct or what if I don't want to give public access to thingworx service & still transfer data from Vuforia Studio to Thingworx is this possible? Thanks in advance. Regards,Aditya Gupta

Greetings,I’m experiencing performance issues when using a 4K video feed (3840x2160) in Unity with Vuforia. Despite optimizing settings in Unity, the frame rate remains at around 20-25 FPS, even when using high-end hardware. Below are the details:Mac Mini M1 (Apple Silicon, Metal API enabled) and Windows 11 with RTX 4090 and Intel 13th Gen CPU.Unity version: 2022.3.50f1 (Apple Silicon support on Mac, DX12 on Windows).4K feed stutters in Unity, but works fine in OBS.I've tried disabling VSync, optimizing the scene, and adjusting other Unity settings like multithreaded rendering, but the performance issue persists.Is there any specific configuration or optimization in Vuforia that would help improve 4K AR performance across these platforms? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you! 

Hello Community,         I have installed the extension  CreoViewRWExtension in thingworx platform and it does show a lot of information about pvz file in thingworx but i am unable to get the stepsname and stepsdescription. It does shows a sequence names though and a lot of other stuff. here is the extension link:EXTENSIONhttps://github.com/mvonhasselbach/CreoViewRWExtension/tree/master  I have already raised an issue in the community the link is as below for further clearance:- THINGWORX QUERYhttps://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Thingworx-extension-to-compress-videos/m-p/972096# Please let me know how can i achieve that.

Dear Community Member,Direct import of 3D file formats such as .obj and .fbx is currently supported by Vuforia Studio, but not the .glb file format. We have a large number of .glb models created for other purposes within the company, which we want to import into Vuforia Studio for AR inspection purposes. Converting these models to either .fbx or .obj, or any other 3D format supported by Vuforia Studio, is possible but very time-consuming due to the large number of models. We strongly request the implementation of a feature to support the direct import of .glb models in Vuforia Studio. If a similar request has already been made within the community, it will be helpful if someone share about the progress. Thank youSandy

Dear All,As of now, we are unable to display PMI (Product and Manufacturing Information) in Vuforia Studio or Vuforia View when exporting from third-party CAD software (e.g., NX) as a neutral file format (STEP 242, JT, etc.). Recently, manufacturers have begun to utilize 3D models with embedded PMI for various design investigations and production operations to enhance clarity and ease of understanding.During the design and production phases, our company has also started to adopt AR applications. Additionally, other AR software can import and display PMI information.For investigation purposes, I have attached a sample part file with PMI instructions. The creation of PMI data is based on the ISO 16792 standard for technical product documentation and digital product definition data practices.I am not sure if PTC has considered implementing this feature or if a similar enhancement request has already been submitted and is known to the PTC R&D team. If anyone has information on this mat

Dear Community My goal is to streamline the process of creating AR experiences, ideally the users wouldn't need to open the Vuforia Studio Editor to create Step by Step instructions. Is there a "best" way to extract all the information from the PVZ file using JS? For example "step_acknowledge", or which parts are needed for each step, like a BOM of Parts the user needs to install for each step. This is visible in the animation track in creo Illustrate. step_name and step_discription is available with parsedArg3 Thanks for your help! Alex

Working in Vuforia Studio in 2D.  Using the Hyperlink widget.  I want to click on the hyperlink and I want the link to take me to another experience.  I am using the link info in the Share pulldown.  I grab that infor and go to Events and in the JS I insert that link info for the experience - vuforiaview://ptc.com/command/view-experience?...In the Preview I can run it and I will be able to get the Experience that I want to load with the hyperlink - but it will be the Vuforia Studio Experience?  I assume it is linking and should work in the 'real world' - not the Studio version? I publish the experience and place it in my downloads.  I open the 2D experience and when I click on the hyperlink...my Apple says it can not find the link using Safari???  Or something to that effect???   I there something I need to do with the Apple?  With my link?  What do I need to do differently to make this work - and open the link?&nbsp

Hello,Good Morning, I have offline downloaded AR experience created using Vuforia Studio in Hololens 2 Vuforia View app. Whenever I click on a button to set the sequence in Hololens 2 the system sometimes work & sometimes it goes blank. Can I get any help on this. Best Regards,Aditya Gupta

I'm trying to create an experience on Vuforia Studio where the user can search for a part name. The value is typed in a text input, when you start typing a drop-down menu opens with the part names that match the requested value. Subsequently the user can choose the value from the displayed menu and upon clicking the text field is completed and the model element is highlighted. Can anyone who has already solved this problem help me?

Hi Everyone, I have made a Vuforia Studio Experience in which it captures a screenshot through tml3drenderer and uploads it to thingworx repository. The data does transfers from vuforia studio to thingworx when I preview it in laptop through browser, but it does not gets transferred when I preview the same experience through my ipad. Can anyone please help me out asap. Thanks in Advance. Regards,Aditya Gupta

Hi Everyone,Good Afternoon, I have a code to take screenshot in Vuforia Studio. Now I want to store that screenshot inside thingworx repository.Any idea how can it be done. Need solution asap. Code used for screenshot: //Take Screenshotvar callback = function (pngBase64String, args) {$scope.view.wdg['currentPhoto'].imgsrc='data:image/png;base64,' + pngBase64String;console.log("args");console.log(args);console.log("pngBase64String");console.log(pngBase64String);$scope.view.wdg["label_args"].text = args;$scope.$applyAsync();};// params = { dataURL:bool, withAugmentation: bool, imgFormat: string, imgWidth: number, imgHeight:number}$scope.screenShot = function() {var params = {withAugmentation: true};tml3dRenderer.takeScreenshot(params, callback, null);} Thanks in Advance. Regards,Aditya Gupta

I would like to configure my Vuforia Experience to correctly redirect to the specified DNS name, es.aqress.co.za. The Vuforia Experience works perfectly when tested on localhost at `localhost:2019/ExperienceService/ping`.To achieve the desired configuration, I have taken the following steps:1. Modified the link to reflect the DNS name es.aqress.co.za.2. Configured the domain name to point to the server.3. Waited 24 hours for the domain to propagate.Despite these efforts, the Vuforia Experience still does not redirect correctly to es.aqress.co.za. I am seeking guidance to ensure proper configuration and redirection to the specified DNS name.This configuration is an HTTP configurationHere is what I get from running start-es: Setting DEBUG value: undefinedSetting up storeProjectTempPath as C:\ptc\studio-es-store\projectsStarting server now ...1 websocket proxies createdServer is using <selected-domainName> as the defaultDomainNameWARNING >>> Server is running in INSECU

The scenario is that we are thinking to get the 3d models from windchill to thingworx and then to vuforia studio.What can be the best scenario?1) Integration of thingworx with windchill (any documentation)Or 2) We upload the 3d models in thingworx repositry and fetch them in vuforia studio? if possible is there more information about the process?

The Vuforia Studio team will be moving the GXI, ULS, and Gallery services to a new server in the coming weeks. Users who have previously allow-listed these services via IP addresses will need to update their configuration with the new IP address range of 52.84.0.0/15.For customers who can allow-list server URLs in addition to IP addresses, we strongly recommend using the server URLs instead of the IP range. This approach will ensure a smoother transition and minimize the risk of disruptions.To maintain seamless access to Vuforia Studio and Vuforia View after the server migration, please allow-list the following URLs in your firewall: https://vuforia.atlas.ptc.com/ (for the GXI) https://ptc-prod.es.thingworx.com (for reaching the Gallery experiences) PTC is planning to perform the server migration at the end of August. To avoid any interruption in accessing Vuforia View Gallery Experiences and Experience Services, please ensure that your allow-list includes the updated IP address rang

Dear Community,I want to show the timer in the studio in label widget but it does not get update as you can see my function also below. any idea how to achieve this functionality? when i run some other function then it gets render otherwise not.  Thank you   function startCountdown() { var countDownTime = 95 * 60 * 1000; var x = setInterval(function() { // Decrease the time left by 1 second (1000 milliseconds) countDownTime -= 1000; // Time calculations for minutes and seconds var minutes = Math.floor(countDownTime / (1000 * 60)); var seconds = Math.floor((countDownTime % (1000 * 60)) / 1000); // Update the text in the widget $scope.view.wdg["overAllTime"].text = minutes + "m " + seconds + "s "; // If the countdown is over if (countDownTime < 0) { clearInterval(x); $scope.view.wdg["overAllTime"].text = "TIME UP"; // Start the countdown again startCountdown(); } }, 1000); } // Start the countdown when the script runs startCountdown();

 Hello Community,   We got some requirement for AR project. Since we are part of defense related organization so we cannot use cloud trial version for our POC.   Is it possible to get Vuforia Experience Service on prem trial version.   /VR    

I would like to temporarily change a button's appearance for 2 seconds using Javascript. I'm planning to use the pre-built properties of "Image when Pressed" and Image when not Pressed" in Studio, if it makes sense. I need guidance on the javascript that could perform the temporary change. This provides user feedback when they press the button. I have attached two different icons that would change color/appearance to indicate to the user they have pressed the button. I am using Vuforia Studio 9.21.3.0
