Hello Kumar,

 

In an Experience made in Vuforia Studio and opened in Vuforia View, it is not possible to collaborate with another user.

But it is possible to open a Vuforia Chalk session to do that.

 

Best regards,

Samuel

    Hello Kumar

    Hello Samuel

     

    I agree with Samuel regarding "In an Experience made in Vuforia Studio and opened in Vuforia View, it is not possible to collaborate with another user.". 

    At least I can't do  Experiencer in Vuforia Studio for deveralcollaborated  Vuforia View  users (and several of them can view how one of them operates with AR dynamically); But in MWC 19 (Barcelona 2019)  "HoloLens's Father" Alex Kipman demonstrated how he can use Vuforia Studio (on HoloLens2)  in collaborative work with PTC and Howden  (Maria Wilson) on the one Experience  (see from 52:00 of .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXFc8Tjbq5E&t=3030s)

    Wilson describes how Howden prepared Experience with help of Vuforia Studio and then Alex starts thic experience in Vuforia View (on HoloLens). But all participants see this Experience by anothe eyewear - eyewear on camera on stage? operated by cameraman. Camera uses Vuforia View too (the label in left upper corner) and demonstrate all Alex's activities with AR from popint of view camera but not Alex POV. All MWS19 Participants see Alex and Howden experience fron another Vuforia View than Alex and Alex operates in his own Vuforia View in the same time - from MHO it can be as an example of vcollaboration in AR with help of Vuforia view. All collaborators can use theirs own Vuforia View devices to "live" in one AR experience. Moreover, Maria joins with her device  (iPAD may be, vith her Vuforia View) and directs Alex's actions in the presentation of the disassembly-assembly of the AR in Alex's session.

    From my point of view - this is a real cexample of "Vuforia Studio collaboration with other users in runtime".  

    Not?  Several time ago I sent request Julia Schwartz (number One MS HoloLens2 demonstrator and person who knows about MWS19 presentations absolutely all) how they can show the one Experience from two several HoloLenses at the same time (AR collaboration) but she may be very busy and cannot answer. 

    Anyway, Samuel, do you know who from Vuforia experts could explaine how PTC prepared such example of collaboration in Vuforia Views?

    Thank you in advance.

    Vladimir.

    Hi,

     

    I am not sure if what you are looking for is a feature you desire to be available out of the box, but there is a way to 'connect' more than eight Vuforia View sessions using ThingWorx. To what extend would you like to collaborate? What data would you like to share with another user?

     

    With kind regards,

    Martini3119

    Hi Martin3119

     

    Yes, you are absolutely right - solution I looking for doesn't OOTB.
    But I see several times during tech show, LiveWorx or other demo : the demonstrator works in his own Vuforia View with his AR scenario in AR space, and the other participants
    are watching/are following his actions in theirs AR viewers (Vuforia View?) in real time. And moreover - they are following him according theirs positioning in AR space. I didn't find how does it possible realize in PTC Vuforia user guides, technical papers or during learnings. It means it doesn't OOTB solution, may be undocumented functionality of Vuforia Studio or Vuforia Studio (and Vuforia View too ) skillful possession or PTC AR state-of-the-art. But I can see examples of s.c. "collaborative work in Vuforia View" in several videos such as LiveWorx or Microsoft+PTC kick-off.
    You write: "there is a way to 'connect' more than eight Vuforia View sessions using ThingWorx"
    OK,
    How can I get familiar with this way?
    Does it possible for Android Vuforia View users or for Hololens only?
    Do I need to download additional SW?
    To do something on TWx ES server too?
    Can I use the official free shared Vuforia View or I need to replace it for getting collaboration?
    Thank you in advance,

    Vladimir
