Core Features

These samples show how to build apps for handheld devices using the core features of Vuforia. The Unity Core Features sample is available in the Unity Asset Store and demonstrates the following features:

  • Model TargetsDemonstrates tracking of targets created from CAD or 3D models.
  • Area TargetsDemonstrates tracking of targets created from 3D scans of environments.
  • Ground PlaneDemonstrates markerless experience and positioning of 3D content in the world.
  • Image TargetsDemonstrates the use of planar image targets.
  • VuMarkDemonstrates VuMarks encoding information within a custom design.
  • Cylinder TargetsDemonstrates cylindrical objects usage, along with the occlusion effect on a soda can shaped object.
  • Multi TargetsDemonstrates use of targets formed by several planar targets, in this case forming a box.
  • Instant Image TargetsDemonstrates the runtime creation of targets. A user can attach content without being required to have a previously created target.
  • Cloud RecognitionDemonstrates use of the cloud to recognize targets from a Vuforia Engine TMS cloud database.
  • Virtual ButtonsDemonstrates how to interact with an image target so it reacts when occluding a portion of the image target.

For native development, a simpler sample is available for handheld devices running iOS, Android, and UWP platforms to demonstrate the following features

  • Model TargetsDemonstrates tracking of targets created from CAD or 3D models.
  • Image TargetsDemonstrates the use of planar image targets.
