Vuforia Studio New widgets for 3D Eyewear projects: 3D Press Button We recommend using a 3D Press Button in place of the 3D Button, as the 3D Button widget will be deprecated in a future release. A few things to keep in mind: In May, the 3D Button widget will no longer available for new projects. This will not immediately affect existing projects that contain 3D Button widgets, and you will still be able to edit and re-publish projects that contain them. In the future (TBD) all existing 3D Buttons will be transitioned to 3D Press Buttons. More information on this transition will be forthcoming. 3D Image Button 3D Toggle Button 3D Checkbox 3D Panel Ability to pin and unpin 3D Audio and 3D Video widgets in runtime German and Simplified Chinese now fully supported for HoloLens 2 voice commands If your HoloLens was set to English when you installed Vuforia View, you'll need to delete it and reinstall after you've changed your language setting to Simplified Chinese or German Bug fixes and minor improvements Vuforia View Bug fixes and minor improvements Experience Service Support for PostgreSQL 11.6 and 12.4 Bug fixes and minor improvements

Getting Orientation of Mobile Device via Javascript and detecting of device rotation on runtime. In some cases it could be a goal to get change the text of a widget based on the mobile devices orientation. This could be done  via Javascript and css. Follwong possible solutions:  In CSS. More details here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/orientation In Javascript with various method: Here is some documentation : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen/orientation   As we can read, it is not supported in Safari web browser for iOS.   In a new Project, in 2D canevas, I have added one Button and one Label named label-Result. In home.js, we can create this function very similar to the one provided in documentation above.   $scope.screenOrientation = function() { var orientation = screen.msOrientation || (screen.orientation || screen.mozOrientation || {}).type; if (orientation === "landscape-primary" || orientation === "landscape-secondary") { $scope.setWidgetProp("label-Result", "text", "landscape"); console.log("landscape"); } else if (orientation === "portrait-primary" || orientation === "portrait-secondary") { $scope.setWidgetProp("label-Result", "text", "portrait"); console.log("portrait"); } else if (orientation === undefined) { $scope.setWidgetProp("label-Result", "text", "The orientation API isn't supported in this browser"); console.log("The orientation API isn't supported in this browser :("); } } The following observation when we test it :   In Preview, in Chrome web browser, in my workstation in Windows when clicking the button, result is always landscape on Samsung S7 and S9+, in Vuforia View when clicking the button, result is always portrait. Vuforia View doesn't change screen position and rotating the mobile In iPad 6 generation, in Vuforia View when clicking the button, result is The orientation API isn't supported in this browser. Vuforia View screen is changing when rotating tablet So the JavaScript solution above has some problems which we can try to fix using another approach: As mentioned the previous solution could be used only on start- but it will not detect a dyncamic change - e.g. rotate the device.This solution  was tested and working in preview and on android. It seems that it does not work on IOS.  ON HoloLens we have  only landscape mode- so that this has no relvance. For Preview mode and Android devices the  following code is working fine: //============================================ angular.element(document).ready(function() { angular.element(window).on('resize', function(evt) { //console.log("resized window evnt :");console.warn(evt); var message = '' var win = evt.path[0]; if(win.innerWidth > win.innerHeight){ // LANDSCAPE -> do something here call your landscapeFunc() message = "current orientation is Landscape!" } else { // PORTRAIT -> do something here your PortraitFunc() message = "current orientation is Portrait!" } twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage(message,"twLogo"); }); }) //////////////////////  We need to pay attion here that we are in angular js environment and  the windows variable seems to  be static an is passed on system start - therefore it will not update dynamicaly. There is also an soluton for IOS which was verfied in a tests - e.g.  it works fine (IPad 6 generation).  Possibly this solution will work also on window -need to be testet. Following code: function readDeviceOrientation() { //only for IOS var orient="unknown" switch (window.orientation) { case 0: orient= "Portrait" break; case 180: orient= "Portrait Upside-down"// Portrait (Upside-down) break; case -90: orient= "Landscape (Clockwise)"// Landscape (Clockwise) break; case 90: orient= "Landscape (Counterclockwise)"// Landscape (Clockwise)// Landscape (Counterclockwise) break; } twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("IOS Orientation: "+orient,"twLogo"); } And register the event on orientation change: angular.element(document).ready(function () { if($scope.app.isIOS()){ $scope.setWidgetProp('label-3', 'text', "called on IOS Device"); twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("called on IOS Device","twLogo"); window.onorientationchange = readDeviceOrientation;} } }); Here is a function for testing of the current device -> please, check for more details this post( How to define functions to check the different mobile platforms ). So, to go deeper, we can see this thread in stackoverflow.com : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4917664/detect-viewport-orientation-if-orientation-is-portrait-d...

How to define Widget at runtime time and what is possible?  For example, the following problem: required is a button e.g. 'button-1' - widget to start a sequence. Now user want to create an 3D-Label that becomes visible after click the 'button-1' and  now for each sequence and step a the 3D-Label have to be visible as long as the sequence is played. The 3d label should display an information for the specific step and also should to have specific position. Unfortunately, it is not possible (using the supported functionality) to create widget on the fly - means create a new feature on run time where the widget was not defined in the design time. Theoretical with some more intensive work – it will be possible – we simple need to check what the UI is doing when you copy and paste widget  (but it is not easy ☹-  and it is not sure if this solution will be stable(if you will be able to implement 1:1 UI) and if it will work in later version -because PTC dev team could change some functionality – but will not change your code. For the most tasks it enough to use few 3d widgets (3Dlabels) the most are invisible and then switch the visibility on runtime and move them on the desired location. According request on address of this issue  , may be it is worth here to mention following statements of the PTC dev  :   .) Question: “Vuforia Studio 8.5.3.Is it possible to create 2D and 3D widgets from Java Script? Answer: If you mean to dynamically create/instatiate a widget and set its properties at runtime, no we have no such capability today. The simplest workaround is to pre-generate the widgets and manage their visibility at runtime. 2.) Question: Is it possible to create 2D widget dynamically by Java Script? Answer: Its fairly easy to have a couple of hidden widgets that are displayed and moved with a tap event. It might be possible to create some 2d widgets on the fly, but 3d widgets would be a bit harder as more of the unsupported api under the hood would be needed.   According to the statement of the PTC development team  - here the we will consider the possible workaround :. The following requirement: When the sequence 1 is played the labels 1, 2 and 3 have to be visible. When the sequence 2 is played the labels 4, 5 and 6 have to be visible. In all of these labels are only one word in it, so not a step description or something like this. Here is a sample table with coordinates for a better overview:   There is no a real reason to have 4,5,6 here. In this case we can use 1,2,3 again - also for step 2 but we could here change the position and will change the text content. In this case we need to have to define number of 3DLabel widgets which is equal to the maximum of used notes per step - and display and update only the necessary number of widget in particular step.   To demonstrate the workaround the following example was created and tested. This   example should show the suggestion above. It is not perfect but should demonstrate the general approach to achieve similar goal. The table with values is a json file- in the attached example is the file steps.json in the Project upload folder. Here example of values: {"1":{"3DLabel-1":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label1 Step 1", "x":0.0,"y":0.1,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":0.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel1"}, "3DLabel-2":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label2 Step 1", "x":0.0,"y":0.2,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":0.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel2"}, "3DLabel-3":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label3 Step 1", "x":0.0,"y":0.3,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":0.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel3"}}, "2":{"3DLabel-1":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label1 Step 2", "x":0.0,"y":0.1,"z":0.1,"rx":0.0,"ry":10.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel2"}, "3DLabel-2":{"visible":false,"text":"text Label2 Step 2", "x":0.0,"y":0.2,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":10.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel2"}, "3DLabel-3":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label3 Step 2", "x":0.0,"y":0.3,"z":0.1,"rx":0.0,"ry":10.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel2"}}, "3":{"3DLabel-1":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label1 Step 3", "x":0.0,"y":0.1,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":20.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel3"}, .... "8":{"3DLabel-1":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label1 Step 8", "x":0.0,"y":0.1,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":0.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel1"}, "3DLabel-2":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label2 Step 8", "x":0.0,"y":0.2,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":0.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel2"}, "3DLabel-3":{"visible":true,"text":"text Label3 Step 8", "x":0.0,"y":0.3,"z":0.0,"rx":0.0,"ry":0.0,"rz":0.0,"scale":1.0,"class":"ptc-3DLabel3"}}}      The table contains the most possible values to set for 3DLabels. We can add other or omit values in the list. In generally we need only the values which should be changed but such list template which contains all values is better for editing. It should still work so far, the json syntax is correct First point is to load the list to a global variable from the project upload folder. Here a sample code:   $scope.jsonData_steps={}; //global $scope variable //================================== readSteps=function (jsonFile){ console.warn("**=>readSteps :: "+jsonFile); fetch(jsonFile) .then(response=>response.text()) .then(data=>{$scope.jsonData_steps=JSON.parse(data); console.warn( JSON.stringify($scope.jsonData_steps))}) .catch((wrong) => {console.log("problem in fetch: "); console.warn(wrong)}) } //================================== $scope.Init=function() { $timeout(readSteps('app/resources/Uploaded/'+stepsjson),200); } //================================================================================================= // $ionicView.afterEnter -> this event fires when 2d view was entered //================================================================================================= $scope.$on('$ionicView.afterEnter',function(){ console.log("$ionicView.afterEnter was called"); $scope.Init();}) //event: when 2d View loaded //=================================================================================================     further in the "stepstarted" event the code will set the values of the widget properties which are contained by the json object  with the same number as the started step number:     //================================================================================================= $scope.$on('stepstarted', function(evt, arg1, arg2, arg3) { var parsedArg3 = JSON.parse(arg3); console.log("stepstarted stepNumber="+parsedArg3.stepNumber + " nextStep="+parsedArg3.nextStep); $timeout(()=>{ $scope.setMutipleProps($scope.jsonData_steps[parsedArg3.stepNumber.toString()])},10) $scope.setWidgetProp('label-1', 'text',"STEP: "+ parsedArg3.stepNumber) $scope.$applyAsync(); }); //================================================================================================= //this function set multiply properties from a list //================================================================================================= $scope.setMutipleProps = function(obj){ Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (item) { for(var prop in obj[item]) { $scope.view.wdg[item][prop]=obj[item][prop]; //print the setting for debugging console.log("==>$scope.view.wdg["+item+"]["+prop+"]="+obj[item][prop] ) } }) $scope.$applyAsync(); }; ///=================================================================================================     Finally,  the project was  tested  and  it was working as expected:     The demo project is attached to this article.

Sometimes it is required and will be nice to use a picker functionality. For example, some data picker – so the question: How to achieve this. Yes it is possible in JavaScript that we can incorporate a data/calendar picker into the Vuforia Studio environment? In the Web there are some open source libraries and at least it works 1:1 in preview mode. But mostly they work also fine on mobile devices. In this article a data picker was tested and it was working fine in Preview mode but also was working fine on IOS and on Android devices  The example here is based on the follow link:  https://www.cssscript.com/tag/date-picker/ there are some data picker implemented. Here in this example the library (data-picker) is copied to  the Studio Project download folder and it javascript code will   load the lib and defined a function which is called from button First step is to define a function which enables to load javascript and css from a file / project folder:   // this code load a javascript or css file $scope.loadjscssfile= function(filename, filetype){ console.log("loading "+filename+":: type="+filetype) if (filetype=="js"){ //if filename is a external JavaScript file var fileref=document.createElement('script') fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript") fileref.setAttribute("src", filename) } else if (filetype=="css"){ //if filename is an external CSS file var fileref=document.createElement("link") fileref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet") fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/css") fileref.setAttribute("href", filename) } if (typeof fileref!="undefined") document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref) } // this function will load the simplepicker javascript lib and the css lib $scope.testLoad= function() { $scope.loadjscssfile("app/resources/Uploaded/lib/simplepicker.css", "css") $scope.loadjscssfile("app/resources/Uploaded/dist/simplepicker.js", "js") }   In this example the $inoicView.afterEnter (after 2d/view  is loaded) event is used to load the library. The function for the picker call is defined -  $scope.app.TestPicker()- which is called from a button .   //============================= $scope.$on('$ionicView.afterEnter', function() { $scope.testLoad(); $timeout(() => { $scope.setWidgetProp("button-1","class", "simplepicker-btn"); $scope.$applyAsync(); },500) }) //https://www.cssscript.com/material-date-time-picker-simplepicker/ // function called from a button $scope.app.TestPicker = function() { let simplepicker = new SimplePicker({ zIndex: 10 }); simplepicker.open(); simplepicker.on('submit', (date, readableDate) => { console.warn( readableDate ); $scope.setWidgetProp('label-1','text', readableDate); $scope.$applyAsync(); }); simplepicker.on('close', (date) => { console.log('Picker Closed' ); }); }   When the picker is closed after date was selected - the javascript code will set the selected value to the text property of a label widget (label-2). The javascript and the style (css)  implementation was copied to the resource folder:       Now the   simplepicker could be tested and it has the following appearance in preview mode:     The test picker Studio project was attached to this case.

How to associate my image texture UV on my 3D Model Here the suggested   workflow is the following: 1.) we will create the CAD data in any CAD tools /   Creo Parametric or any AutoDesk , Catia, Solidwors and etc. / In generally when we prepare the model for the AR usage and there /in the CAD tool/ we will also assigned the texture to a model, component or particular surfaces. So means  the native CAD data will contain already the texture/'s before we will try to use it in Vuforia Studio 2.) So to use the data in Vuforia Studio we need to import it. The import tool is a part of studio and will convert the geometry . Internal Studio used the optimizer tool (here want to refer to the post: "Optimize PVZ before") So means that the native cad data is converted always to PTC light ware format pvz. According to rcp. setting it will  import also the textures or will not import them. So this is the most used way to use textures in Vuforia Studio.  Also UV setting are something what should be set in the CAD tool - e.g. in Creo Parametric:      3.) In case that we have a texture file  and want to assigned it to a model or modelItem  using some U V parameters in Vuforia Studio  this will make it more difficult. It is possible but you need to define an GLSL shader in the tmlText widget and assigned to the shader property. The glsl shader will used also the file refer in the texture property and could display it projected on the UV model geometry:     e.g. in Javascript;   $scope.app.shaderString="texture_test;scale f 2;moveX f 0;moveY f 0"; $rootScope.$on('modelLoaded', function() { $scope.view.wdg['modelItem-1']['texture'] = "app/resources/Uploaded/cvc.jpg?name=Texture0&edge=repeat"; $scope.setWidgetProp('modelItem-1', 'shader', $scope.app.shaderString); $scope.view.wdg['3DImage-1']['src'] = "app/resources/Uploaded/pinger_half.png?name=Texture0&edge=mirror"; $scope.setWidgetProp('3DImage-1', 'shader',$scope.app.shaderString); })     Here the pictures are created in project wher I used the following tmlText defintion. Please, pay attention that it is not a solution , but more only an example which display the general usage. If you need more to optimize the display you need to do some improvements - ,please, refer to some addtional links: https://wiki.delphigl.com/index.php/Tutorial_glsl2 https://viscircle.de/einsteigerguide-einfuehrung-in-glsl/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27646383/glsl-shader-for-texture-smoke-effect or lot of other links / key words glsl  fragmet vertex shader defintion, web.gl javascipt/   So in this example I used the following test shader code:     <script name="texture_test" type="x-shader/x-fragment"> precision mediump float; uniform sampler2D Texture0; uniform float scale; uniform float moveX; uniform float moveY; // determine varying parameters varying vec3 N; varying vec4 vertexCoord; // determine shader input parameters uniform vec4 surfaceColor; const vec3 lightPos = vec3(1.0, 2.2, 0.5); const vec4 ambientColor = vec4(0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0); void main() { // calc the dot product and clamp based on light position // 0 -> 1 rather than -1 -> 1 // ensure everything is normalized vec3 lightDir = -(normalize(lightPos)); vec3 NN = normalize(N); // calculate the dot product of the light to the vertex normal float dProd = max(0.0, dot(NN, -lightDir)); { // calculate the color based on light-source and shadows on model vec2 TexCoord = vec2( vertexCoord )*scale; TexCoord.x=TexCoord.x+moveX; TexCoord.y=TexCoord.y+moveY; vec4 color = texture2D(Texture0, TexCoord) ; gl_FragColor = (ambientColor + vec4(dProd)) *color ;// surfaceColor; } } </script> <script name="texture_test" type="x-shader/x-vertex"> attribute vec3 vertexPosition; attribute vec3 vertexNormal; varying vec3 N; varying vec4 vertexCoord; uniform mat4 modelMatrix; uniform mat4 modelViewProjectionMatrix; void main() { vec4 vp = vec4(vertexPosition, 1.0); gl_Position = modelViewProjectionMatrix * vp; vertexCoord = modelMatrix*vp; // the surface normal vector N = vec3(normalize(modelMatrix* vec4(vertexNormal,0.0))); } </script>   The GLSL code should be added in the text area of the tmlText widget:     At the end I want to provide to this post  a sample project which demonstrate how to use the textures with shaders in Studio. Please, pay attention this is only an example which demonstrate the general principle. So far I now this way , works only on mobile devices. I did not get it work with the shader on the HoloLens. I tested the project in preview on Android and on IOS. On Android and in preview mode it work fine. On IOS it works fine for the ModelItem but not for the 3dImage- but I think there we need to downscale the value of the light intensity:   gl_FragColor = (ambientColor*lightscale + vec4(dProd)) *color ;// s project was attached : testShaderProperties-EXAMPLE.zip

ThingWorx properties can be updated from a Vuforia Studio experience.    Below is a simple example: Create a test Thing and a test property for the Thing in ThingWorx :   Create a service for the Thing with text input parameter(Test) and add the below code to update the TestProperty value:   Click Done and Save the Thing In Vuforia Studio, Add a Text Input widget and a Button widget in 2D canvas Add the service of the Thing in the External data Panel Now, bind the Text property of the ‘Text Input’ widget to the Test Parameter of the service as shown below:   Bind the Click event of the Button widget to the Service to update the value of Thing property in ThingWorx   Test the experience by clicking Preview. Enter text in the Text Input widget and click the button. The Thing property should then be updated.      If you are creating a public experience, ensure that run time permissions for the es-public-access user have been assigned to the properties, events and services of the entity.  From ThingWorx composer, open the entity whose data must be accessed by a public experience Click the Permissions icon in the last column of the row containing the entity Click Run Time under Permissions Under All Properties, Events, Services, use the search box to find and add the es-public-access user Click green dot under the appropriate permissions columns   Click Save See the Vuforia Studio Help Center for more information on granting user permissions in ThingWorx for Vuforia Studio.
