Augmented Reality

Hello Dear Community,   today I wanted to do the Raspberry Pi Tutorial and got stuck in the Thingworx Composer.   I used the written tutorial and followed the video tutorial. You can find them here:   https://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/#page/Studio_Help_Center%2FRPAdvancedIntro.html%23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWwizf4D6KQ&feature=youtu.be At one point I had to take my Experience Server URL and extend it with /thingworx to get to the platform. This was my first time ever logging in there.   In the tutorial it says I have to create a new Application Key and then a new Thing but I have basically only permission to read and view, but in order to do these steps I probably need Design Time and Run Time as well.   I am on a Trial-Account.   I already looked for a solutions to this but somehow couldn't apply them. I can't even do anything else besides reading.   Is there any way to make the Raspberry Pi Project work without the need t

Hey ! I'm trying to implement the Raspberry Pi Demo as shown in (https://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/#page/Studio_Help_Center/RPAdvancedIntro.html#)   I completed every step as shown in demo but the Temperature and Memory Guage in the vuforia experience is not displaying the live value of the properties. Although It is continually refreshed in the ThingWorx Platform (RaspberryPiThing) but it is not displayed in the experience.  I've attached the screenshot of the preview of the vuforia studio experience. I've followed each step demonstrated in the setup. What am I missing here ?

Hello Community,   yesterday I tried to do the Raspberry Pi Tutorial with my Vuforia Studio Trial-Account and so far everything worked fine beside the fact that I am not able to create an Application Key or anything else in the Thingworx Composer because I can't set my permissions to anything else than Read-Only.   Is there anyone who got the same problem and managed to solve it or just completed the Raspberry Pi Tutorial with a Trial-Account as well?   Within the composer there's already a pre-created Raspberry Pi Thing and Thing Template which have all the needed Properties but somehow the Values don't change when I run the script on my Pi.   So it's either me who does something wrong or I need the Permissions to create a new Application Key and a Thing by myself.   Thank you in advance for any help.

How do I get to know the details of Vuforia Studio license open for a client? I only have the SOC number ..... thanx  Giuseppe    

Hi,        I am new to Thingworx and doing some experiments. I have subcribed a development portal of Thingworx foundation server hosted on trial (30 days) some where on the cloud. I am trying to connect this server with my Vuforia studio but when I enter the url of thingworks for experience service it says 'Failed to authorise experience server'. url of thingworks - https://pp-1902092106pa.devportal.ptc.io           Please help.    

Hi, I have Installed Licensed Thingworx platform, Voforia Studio and Experience service. But the problem is  Thingworx IoT data not updating in Vuforia view in Android  as its working fine in "Preview" Section of  vuforia studio. Should we do any Modification in Subsystems in Thingworx? or should i create any remote things those kind of things??    After going so many Documents, Couldnt get required informations. Seeking for some guidance.   Thanks and regards, Thrinath.

What should one learn to implement 3D object movements using JavaScript in Vuforia Studio?

Hello all, In this PTC video (fast forward to 4:15) the presenter is displaying her experience on a TV screen by using a second Hololens. Can someone guide me on how that is being done?    Hololens live stream doesn't work with Vuforia app, since it's using camera and tracking. 

Hi there, how can I delte an second view which I created but not use anymore? Thanks for help!

Hello,   I know that it's possible to retrieve the stepname (created in Creo Illustrate) by listening for the "stepstarted" event or with "newStep" event. But what if I like to e.g. generate a list with all the steps in the current loaded sequence, can that be done? Is it possible to read the stepname of a specific sequence step based on an index number?   Cheers, Tony

Hi there, is there a possiblity to restart a video for example by pressing a button even if it is still playing? Is it possible to set the current time of the video to 0?   Thanks for help!    

This post should provide more detailed steps additional to the posts ("How to extract the components with properties from a pvz file"[1.] and "How to use ThingView Widget from Navigate to display CAD Model/Viewables in custom mashup- Concept"[2]) for the extracting the viewables and the seqnece steps information from a .pvz / Creo Illustrate model for further usage in a thingworx service. 1.) Extracting the data from the Creo View Model ( Created from Creo Illustrate via publish to pvz functionality) As described in [1.] we required for the extraction of information a Creo View Toolkit.  A good choice will be the usage the Creo View  WebGL toolkit module.   The toolkit program is called inside a html document where the javaScript Creo View WebGl Api is embedded. So, the most important logic could be called on the window load function. This code below will initialize  the thingview library and  will open the pvz model file (value of variable

The problem with the the method described in the post  -> is if you add a filter to the text property so that you can add units to the value, e.g. '10%' then the state based definition wont understand the value as it is now a string and not a number. Is there any way to work around this?  It would be great if the dependent field could instead be a dependent value and then you could bind the property itself to the 'dependent value' so that you can have units and a colour changing gauge.

Here I want to consider the question how to   define a  TWX service which could create   a  Bom and Viewable Lists from  json files. This will be very helpful option when we want to display some CreoView data in the thingview. How to extract BOM and viewable data form a Creo View /Illustrate *.pvz file is shown in the post "How to extract the components with properties from a pvz file".   In this example the json files are saved in a thingworx repository (means a thing form template FileRepostiroy) e.g.  "CAD-Files-Repository" :   1.)Create a service for the BOM List /InfoTable                 edit the CAD-Files-Repository thing and create a new service named  "GetBomStruct_arg_path" set  the BaseType : INFOTABLE . Set the DataShape property of the service - > here to BomListStuct -> this datashape need to be created  first . It should have the following Fields / proper

I've published an experience from Creo to PTC's public servers, and I can view it successfully with Vuforia View, but the option to download it isn't available.  Is this functionality only available for experiences hosted on your own server?

I am trying to include annotations/labels for parts in my 3D model in a way that these labels remain attached to those parts when I am moving the camera around, but have not found a way to do it in Vuforia Studio. I can add 3D labels with billboard visibility, but I cannot "attach" the label to a specific part (e.g. using lines). Looking at some PTC videos I found an example where they label parts of a motorcycle (see attached image below), but I cannot figure out how to add those particular widgets in Vuforia Studio.   Any hints/help is much appreciated. Thanks!    

Is there a way to change the color dynamically with clicks? If I have three color choices, how to set it up?

Hi all,    I've made a AR project in Vuforia Studio for a customer. The goal was to show live IoT data in an AR experience. This worked, but on the Ipad pro the values did not appear in the widgets, only the value NaN showed. We did test the same project in preview and on several other devices, none of them had this issue, so we think this is an issue only on the IPad, maybe on every IPad, we've only tested it in IPad pro.  Model: Ipad Pro model 2017 ios 12.1.1

Looking over on Vuforia.com there are tools to make custom VuMarks. There is a video guide too.   Will we be seeing this functionality extended to ThingWorx studio?   Making custom ThingMarks with a company logo or for specific projects would be really nice.

Hi PTC Community,   I have added a SolidWorks assembly file (.sldasm) as my Model resource in Vuforia Studio, but the 3D model is not generating. Is it possible for me to use this .sldasm without incorporating any SolidWorks parts files (.sldprt)? Please advise.   Cheers, Jane  

Goodmorning everyone, in the Studio I saw that there is the possibility to apply shader and texture models in order to have realistic effects on the components. Moreover, in an experience made by PTC Italia for Dallara I have seen that a scene background very similar to that of Creo Parametric can be applied.   Explain in detail how to do the 2 operations?   Thank you, Matteo.  

have been using a trial version for 14days now. I created a new account reinstalled the studio but I'm not able to access the studio.  

Hi everyone,   I would like to know if it's possible to create mixed reality experiences using Vuforia Studio or if it is necessary to complement it with any other software.   Thanks! -Luis

Hello everyone, I am trying to add some instruction text in a popup label, i have found some solutions here on the conumity, like showing the stepname, and that is working, however some of my instructions contain 2 lines of text. Replacing the stepname by step_description is not working. Note: I am new to coding, and have no experience.    Does anyone already done this and can share me some code?   This is what i have now: var labelId = "label-1"; $scope.$on('newStep', function(evt, arg) { $scope.setWidgetProp( labelId, "text", arg); // get the currentStep from the arg var labelText = $scope.view.wdg['label-1'].text;var InstructText = step_description$scope.setWidgetProp( "label-1", "text", InstructText);});
