Vuforia Studio

Hello Vuforia Studio community!   This past week the PTC user AR/VR Technical community and Vuforia product management discussed visualization and management of your organizations experience server. The Product Management team would like share a Vuforia Studio experience developed to help you manage the experiences you've published. Import and publish this experience as you would with any other project. Next use your device to get information about the experiences published. The experience can be used to unpublish unnecessary experiences.   Attached are the project files   Some helpful tips: Icon Meaning The device the experience is published for The experience requires authentication The experience is available for download   Feel free to comment with your feedback and thoughts!   -Marty Markenson, Vuforia Product Management 

Hi community members,Currently, to display a CAD model in Vuforia View, we need to perform spatial tracking, model tracking, or ThingMark (Marker) tracking. We believe it would be very useful if users could view the scene (3D model) in Vuforia View without needing to perform any tracking. This would be especially helpful for those who do not have access to a CAD system and simply want to see the model so that they can provide immediate feedback to the designer.  Thank you. 

Dear all.Currently, when we need to handle CAD data (such as STEP and JT) with layers, first we split CAD data by each layer, export them, and then import to Vuforia as separate files.However splitting each CAD files into each layers takes a lot of effort, so we'd like to have ability to handle layers on Vuforia side. To be specific, we'd like to have an ability to import CAD file with layer, and switch visibility of each individual layers.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have uploaded some videos in Vuforia Studio Mobile experience, but the videos are not visible if we download the experience and then view through Vuforia View app. Thanks in advance. Regards,Aditya Gupta

Hello all,   Is there any possible way to integrate Windchill and Vuforia studio. My use case here is, I need to list out all the available 3D model available in Windchill into Vuforia Studio screen, based on user selection I need to show 3D model in 3D Model widget.   Regards, VR

It has been several years since I have used Vuforia Studio and now I find myself in the position of needing to report, assess, and manage the users of Vuforia Studio and the experiences that have been published to the PTC hosted ES. So I am looking for suggestions of any ways to track information on the projects and people. The user list is a mess and I don't know who is actively using Studio. And the projects are as well. I am looking at the Studio Experience Manager project currently, but it is missing a little information that would be valuable, like who published the experience and when. And things like when the experience was last used or how many times it has been accessed would also be quite valuable in figuring out what to "unpublish". Surely there are some good data and means to analyze it. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. As I said it has been years since I was on the user/creator side of Vuforia and now I am holding the bag trying to figure out how it can be active

Hi everyone,i want to click through a step-by-step animation made in creo. For each step i want to display another text.I have a button attached to "play" and a button to "rewind".Each Button calls a function, where the code reads the current step and then sets the text according to the value of current step. For just going forward with the play button, everything works just fine. Only when the rewind button is pressed, the value of CurrentStep is wrong.Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!Here is my Code:   $scope.app.fn.loadResourceScript("Uploaded/fn.js"); $scope.btnVisible = function(step){ if(step < 4 && step > 0){ $scope.show("button-next"); $scope.show("button-back"); } if(step == 0){ $scope.hide("button-back"); } if(step == 4){ $scope.hide("button-next"); } } $scope.setText = function(step){ switch(step){ case 0: $scope.changeProperty("text_info_2","text","0text hier einfügen ala code"); break; case 1: $scope.changeProperty("text_i

An issue was resolved where using certain widgets as the binding target resulted in duplicate bindings. This issue did not cause any changes to the core functionality but did impact the performance of both Vuforia Studio and Vuforia View. Complete the following steps to resolve any issues with projects that have been affected: Open the affected project. Under VIEWS in the PROJECT panel, select each view in the project tree, waiting for each of the views to load entirely. Once you’ve selected and loaded each view, click Save. All duplicated bindings should be removed now, with only the original binding remaining.

As per the original post.    Hi Team,    Once after extracting the .zip file i got the .pvi, .pvs,.ol file. which file need to import whether .pvz file or extracting .zip files.   if i imported .pvz file i got 4 figures in sequence tab. how to call these sequence with the button in home.js.   could you please explain about this.  if you have any related project please attach here.      

Dear community members,As we all know, Vuforia currently does not have the capability to display edges within the experience. We are using Vuforia View model tracking experiences, created from Vuforia Studio, for visual inspection purposes.Most of the time the parts to be inspect differ little bit in shape, and have some specific features such as hole, rib etc. for the sheet metal panel. If Vuforia provide us the functionality to display the real object edges in real-time and compare with the CAD edges and display the difference between aforementioned edges in view, we could inspect the parts easily. I think the ER related to display the edges within the experience is already exist in the community. what about the progress of this enhancement request? Other AR software show the real object edges within the app which make the visual inspection of the parts easier by switching the display of the edges ON/OFF. If Vuforia provides the functionality to show the edges, it will help us greatl

Dear All,Currently, Vuforia View does not support external cameras for iOS devices, such as the iPad Pro. However, iOS has provided support for external webcams since version 17, and other AR software has begun to incorporate this feature. Is the R&D team considering adding external camera support in an upcoming Vuforia View release?If there is any new information regarding external camera compatibility with Vuforia View, please share it.The ability to use a webcam alongside the iPad's built-in camera is crucial for our visual inspection tasks, especially in tight spaces where positioning the iPad is challenging. Best regards,Sandy

Dear community member, I believe Vuforia View currently utilizes the iPad Pro's wide-angle camera. Is there a plan for the R&D team to enable the use of the ultra-wide camera in future Vuforia View updates?  We aim to capture experiences using both wide and ultra-wide cameras, selecting based on precision requirements—wide for high precision parts and ultra-wide for lower precision. Best regards,Sandy

Hello Community,    In my company we have several vuforia experiences which are deployed and our customers are using them and now my question is that how do you manager/organize your expereinces? I am in a mess actually sometimes small changing requests come and then i update the experience and deploy it again with new name because sometime we make big changes and we want to have the old experience also.  Now if i narrow down my question. It is that i want to know that which experience is on which development server? DevTest Prod Should i prepare an excel sheet to record this status and always update it that which experience is on which server? Because we have a lot of expereinces and sometimes its on test server/ sometimes dev / sometimes prod... I always have to see where the experience is deployed. I already have that experience from PTC where you can see all the experiences on the specfic server which is deployed but still question is ho

Hai Team,  Once after extracting the .zip file, i got the .pvi, .pvs,.ol file.which file need to import whether .pvz file or extracting .zip files. if i imported .pvz file i got 4 figures in sequence tab.how to call these sequence with the button in home.js. could you please explain about this. if you have any related project please attach here.  below mentioned codes are we are using. $scope.r1= function(){$scope.view.wdg['model-1']['sequence'] = 'app/resources/Uploaded/l-Creo 3D - Figure 1.pvi';}$scope.r2= function(){$scope.view.wdg['model-1']['sequence'] = 'app/resources/Uploaded/l-Creo 3D - Figure 2.pvi';}

Hey community, I have a custom widget when we call it then the window opens which takes a signature from user. Question:  I have three views 1) START  loads on start  2) HOME  jump to this view from start3) USER   jump to this view from home and i am using this custom sign widget in two views HOME and USER and my work flow is from START => HOME => USER. Now its this custom widget works perfectly fine on HOME view but when i reach to USER view and try to use this widget which i declare again in this view i mean drag drop this widget but this widget is not working means not showing the window to sign. my screen gets white and i cannot see anything when i use this widget... twx.app.fn.triggerWidgetService('zfSignPageSwitch', 'takeSignature') but when i come directly from STARTUP TO USER VIEW then its working perfectly fine on user view.is there any clean i need to do when i come from HOME TO US

Hello, I found a good solution for pdf viewing inside the AR experiencehttps://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio/Displaying-Accessing-Files-e-g-PDF-in-AR-Application/m-p/595901#M5162The only thing (on the iOS app) that seems to lack is a pinch to zoom features.any idea on how to implement it? many thanks

Hello everyone,i am trying to switch to the next view using a button in the header widget, but that doesn't work.It only works, when i open the Navigation menu, open any view and then go back to the first view and then press the button.I am using this function :$scope.nextView = function() {$scope.app.params.text="call works";$scope.app.fn.navigate("Explanation_mechanics");} and i call nextView() with the button in the header.Also if the button is NOT in the header, but anywhere else in the canvas, everything works just fine.I hope you understand what my problem is.Thanks for helping!

After analyzing methodologies by writing code, I was able to realize that it is not possible in vuforia studio to anchor the 3D model in a point, possibly in the most external point of the model. This would allow me, using the spatial target, to constrain the 3d model correctly to the ground plane. For example a collider would be needed to be able to consider the ground as a limit that cannot be exceeded by the 3d model in the horizontal plane (tangent) of the chosen point.is there an integration to have this function? or is there a workaround? Thank you.Gabriele

Hello, Actually I wanted add toggle between two types of models and wanted to add text on both sides of toggle  as shown in attached picture

Hello everyone.  I want to get the coord of first target and second target to calculate distance between them.  First, I duplicate target in home.jsonand, remove binding of thingMark-2 markerId and vumark. in this scene, the difference of coordX  is 0.025. I want to get the distance between two thingmarks regardless of the project initialized coord(0.025). for that, I need to get second target's tracked coord in the first target(thingmark-1)'s matrix.   Or other wayMatrix changes according to the width of Thingmark (in vuforia and real).can make it something using rate of size?    

Hello Community,    I am having a very strange issue. My experience works well on my pc means vuforia studio but not in view app. I mean it starts and then when i do same thing means run same features which i have built.. works well on pc but not in view app. It just could not finish the code execution and it breaks then its just stay in the same state and not doing anything. There is no error in my console.log even or anything which may impact on view app. Still it does not work and surprisingly sometimes it works but sometimes its not.   Anyone has an idea why it is like that? I have also posted a photo below from log file of view app. i get this FPS many times and afterwards then nothing happens actually.

Dear Community Members,We are aiming to manage experiences on iPad devices locally. To achieve this, we wish to download the experience (QR code) from the Vuforia View application and save it to the iPad's local storage. Our plan is to organize the experiences by model, creating a separate folder for each one and storing the corresponding downloaded experiences within.Furthermore, we intend to access these experiences offline by simply tapping on the saved QR codes in their respective folders.Please refer to the attached document for more details. This functionality is crucial, as we are currently facing challenges to find out the necessary experience from the Vuforia View application, especially as the list of downloaded models grows larger each day.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.Best regards,Sandy

I have been doing some extension development, and have had pretty good success with it. But I'm struggling with one thing: I am trying to develop a 3D widget, with the usual x, y, z, rx, ry, rz properties to position it. The runtime preview respects these attributes as expected, but the design time view has a few issues: The values appear to be applied twice in the design canvas, e.g. if I set x=0.1, the widget is rendered at x=0.2. If I rotate by 30 degrees, the widget is rendered rotated 60 degrees The widget shows the dragger (translate/rotate) control in the design view, and I can use it to apply translations/rotations to the rendered widget, but those changes don't update the widget's location properties. For example, I can drag the widget "up" on the Y axis, and it moves as expected on the design canvas, but the Y property value doesn't change (nor do any other properties change). Clicking the widget in the design canvas highlghts the rendered widget, but doesn't select it in th
