At this moment with Vuforia Studio 9.3.2, is possible to use Area Targets in our RA Experiences, ¿are there some examples or guides to implement this tracker?.

I am working with files from Matterport using their SDK and Area Target Generator, ¿is there anyone with experience in this?, I have somo problems with <target>_authoring.glb files.

 

Many thanks

Hi, you can rename the <target_name>_authoring.3dt to <target_name>_authoring.zip.

Then open it and copy the authoringMesh.glb out of it and rename it to <target_name>_authoring.glb.

Hi jgp

Hi @dsgnrClarK, yes the problem that I found is:

When I use the Area Target Generator to import in Vuforia Studio the app generates several files:

• <target_name>.dat
• <target_name>.unitypackage
• <target_name>.xml
• <target_name>_authoring.3dt
• <target_name>_navmesh.glb
• <target_name>_occlusion.3dt
 
As the support.ptc.com, I need a zip file composed by the next files to import in Vuforia Studio:
"Upload the <target_name>.zip file that contains your Area Target files. This .zip should include the following files:
• <target_name>.dat
• <target_name>.xml
• <target_name>_authoring.glb
• <target_name>_navmesh.glb (optional for occlusion)"
 
The problem is that I don´t have the file <target_name>_authoring.glb in my folder ¿¿??.
 
I don´t know why ¿¿??.
 
The Area Target files was generated from a Matterport Space, but I can´t found <target_name>_authoring.glb.
 
Can you help me please??
 
Best regards
