What's New in Vuforia Studio 9.24.0

[#1]

Vuforia Studio

• Documented Shaders Now Available for 3D Models
  • Shaders used in various forms are now available as standard shaders that can be called from Home.js or <view>.js). Information for the following shaders is available:
    • desaturate
    • flow
    • highlight
    • planar_cut
    • spherical_cut
    • xray
  • For more information, see Shaders.

• New Number Input Widget

  • The new Number Input widget separates Number type input from the Text Input widget. Previously, you had to define either text or number type input all in the Text Input widget to include numerical input data. For more information, see Number Input.
    Note: Existing Text Input widgets with Number selected as Type will still work in published experiences, but editing widget data is locked. Use the new Number Input widget to include numerical input in your experience. Additionally, we do recommend replacing all existing numeric Text Input widgets with Number Input widgets, as all remaining Text Input widgets with Number set for Type will be automatically updated in the 9.26 release.

• New Zinc Widget for Remote Assistance
  • The new Zinc widget allows users access to remote assistance from within their experience using PTC’s Zinc app (similar to the Chalk widget). For more information, see Zinc.
• New State-based Model Target Option for Model Targets
  • A new State-based Model Target checkbox is available for Model Targets that allows you to continuously track an object that is capable of being in different states and configurations.
    State-based Model Targets can be used to track an object through a process where parts are added, removed, or manipulated.
    For more information, see Model Target.
• Additional CAD File Format Version Support
  • The following versions of CAD file formats are now supported:
    • CATIA is now supported up to V5-6R2023 (V5R33)
    • Creo files are now supported up to Creo 11.0
    • Inventor files are now supported up to Inventor R11–2024
    • SolidWorks files are now supported up to SOLIDWORKS 2001 Plus–2024
    • VRML files are now supported for v1 and v2

Experience Service

• Ability to Define User IDs for SSO with Entra ID
  • SSO users that are using Entra ID as their OAuth provider can now define various unique IDs in addition to or instead of user emails. For more information, see Install the Experience Service on Windows or Install the Experience Service on Linux.
• Deprecation of HTTP Protocol
  • Due to security concerns, support for HTTP protocol will be deprecated in a future release of the Experience Service. This means that all communications will use HTTPS when publishing experiences or consuming published experiences in Vuforia View. Authoring and experience management will not be affected by this change. If you have any questions or concerns, see the Community Post regarding this announcement.
