Open Beta for Vuforia Capture Now Available in Vantage for iOS
The open beta for Vuforia Capture on iOS is now available from within Vuforia Vantage.
To access the beta feature, a QR code can be scanned that will be available in the Vuforia Capture for iOS Mobile (Beta) topic in the Vuforia Expert Capture Help Center. Once the QR is scanned, a feature toggle is activated that will display a new tab in the Vuforia Vantage main menu titled My Captures (BETA). From this new tab, you can capture images, videos, and location markers that can be imported into a procedure by user with the Author role.
iOS
The wayfinder for occluded part markers now appears more often to point to the occluded parts.
The wayfinder angle calculation has been improved to more accurately point towards its target.
Feedback images taken manually are now cropped to contain only what was on the display when the photo was captured. Previously, due to different aspect ratios of the camera and screen, the images sometimes contained more area at the borders than was shown while capturing the image.
The photo capture and review screens have been updated to simplify the UI by removing the Cancel button and replacing it with a Done button to exit the current screen.
