Hi, so in the short term, I suggest you use a Hyperlink widget (and style it as a button if you wish), and then put vuforiachalk:// as the URL. Please note that this is not officially supported, is not a universal link (i.e. doesn't work unless the Chalk app is already installed), and isn't something we've tested thoroughly. Therefore, use at your own risk (should be sufficient for a demo). The Studio team has a Chalk widget in the works which should address your use case, but doesn't have a fixed release date yet. Thanks

This feature is currently not available but is on our road map for future releases.

Hi @Lionel_Brly -- just noticed this question (and @tmccombie provided an accurate response).

 

We currently have app deep-linking, but it's not officially documented and supported.

 

Could you provide more context on what you're hoping to achieve or see? Are you a Vuforia Studio user and trying to configure a Studio widget?

Hi,

Yes, I can give you some details.

I'm a PTC Partner in France, My role is Pre-sale Director.

 

This request is not really coming from a customer in terms of "usecase", two weeks ago, I did a demonstration on Vuforia Studio and on Chalk, this demo has been well appreciated by the customer, and I had a lot of questions during this demo, particulary on "how to contact an expert ?"
During viewing an experience (Maintenance usescase) if I misunderstand something, something is missing to understand the details, how can I contact an expert ? (To have a audio & video conversation)

it seemed obvious for me to use "Chalk" and by consequence, to be able to launch "chalk" from an experience.

 

What can be the differnts steps?

1-Launching a Vuforia experience

2-In case of needs, have an access  to "Chalk" through Button 
3-Access to "Chalk"'s address book
4-Select an Expert
5-Open a connection

 

To be honest with you, the integration of the two products, seems to me to be an interesting business opportunity.

For your information, this integration has been presented (PPT Slides) during a PTC Webcast on Augmented reality, in French for French PTC Partners ans Customer, last week.

 

Do not hesitate if you need more detail.

Please keep me in the loop if any decision about integration.

Thanks.

Lionel

Hi,

     I have uploaded a Project Example ...

If you go under home.js you'll find "hows to call chalk?"

If you go under application you will find "how to style a button?"

I just tested this experience on "Ipad Pro", it's working !


I use it just for demo!

note: Chalk should be installed before testing, You can test only on mobile platform..

 

Lionel

 

I hope this will help you
