    All in all a good set of upgrades. Here is my feedback after an hour or so of playing around.

     

    • I see the 8.3.4 issue of having to have the launcher window open to keep Studio running has been fixed. Thanks for the quick actions on that one.
    • Can you elaborate on what is required to take advantage of the "Improved detection and tracking of Model Targets" Are the improvements all on the View side? Will I see improved tracking on experience published prior to 8.3.5 when viewed in View 8.3.5? Or do we need to republish in 8.3.5? I have tested an 8.3.4 vs 8.3.5 publish but all my devices have auto updated to 8.3.5 so i don't have an older View client to test with.
    • Sequence list support is a great step but it seems like this is still not quite a code free solution.
      • You can have a Select widget pull the list from the model
      • The Select widget can push the chose sequence value back to the model
      • And you would expect that you can bind the Select widget Value Changes event to the Models "Play all" service so it will play after you select a sequence.
      • But it seems that you need a delay in there. As in you need to wait about 500ms or so after setting the sequence before you can try to play it. While i guess you could have a separate play button, it's logical that you should be able to have what i describe above work without additional JS code.

    @tmccombie I can't edit my post to tag you for some reason. But can you find an answer to this question?

    @jmikesell There are some improvements from Studio as well. To utilize the improved detection & tracking you need to upgrade View to 8.3.5 and republish your project in Studio 8.3.5. On-prem users should also ensure they are using Vuforia Experience Service 8.3.5 for this feature.

      Something else that's new for Vuforia View on the HoloLens:

      There is now a Page Down and Page Up button on the experience selection page (the floating thumbnails that come up when you scan a ThingMark or go to the Library), meaning that you are no longer limited to the 6 most recently published experiences.  This is a great addition.

       

      Unfortunately, it looks like the problem with changing sequences dynamically via JS as outlined in this thread are still there.

      Hello, one question regarding the Surface Pro:

      I can't drop my model at spatial mapping, the app doesn't react when I tip in order to place the model.

      I have a Surface Pro i/ Modell 1796
