Are there certain set of hardware and software requirements to view an AR experience in Spatial Target. If we were to configure a tablet, then what would be the requirements to configure it so that the device could support spatial target. Please mention all the specs like chipset, CPU, GPU, RAM, etc

Hello,

 

We don't have some requirements about hardware to use Vuforia View.

 

Only some devices have been tested and supported by PTC.

More details here in this article :

So, any devices with a similar or better hardware will work. 

By the way, it doesn't make sense to give details about hardware (CPU, RAM ...etc...) because mobiles, tablets, 2D eyewears and 3D eyewears are not like a PC.

I would mean, it is not possible to update hardware by adding a RAM or change a CPU like on workstation.

 

Also, it is recommended to avoid to use big 3D Models because it will slow down the App :

    Hello @sdidier,

    Thank you for a prompt reply. Your response has definitely given me more clarity regarding the supported devices. However, one of our customer wants to configure tablets in bulk so that they could view the experience in Spatial Target and they have asked for certain specifications. For instance, an AR depth sensor, etc. As an application, View likely has some specs for users to support spatial target. Yes and in this case we can the configure the tablet and upgrade certain modules/ components like the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, etc. So that's objective of this case. Would really appreciate more in depth information regarding the hardware or software specifications for the device to support spatial target. Thank you!

    I think a good indicator if a new device supports a spatial target could be to check if it supports 

    for Android devices ARCore

    and for IOS devices ARKit 

    - but the best option will be to ensure that it work via test on the device it self if you plan to order a large number of devices
