SLAM or Instant Tracking

Hello -

Is there anything available in the latest Vuforia SDK 5 release that supports SLAM (Instant Tracking).  It looks like the closest features are Extended Tracking, Smart Terrain and User Defined targets.  However, Extended Tracking and Smart Terrain require an image tracker to start and User Defined targets are strictly 2D.

Does Vuforia support a Metaio-like (or upcoming Wikitude-like) 3D SLAM tracking feature that does not require an image to start the tracking?  If no, could the User Defined target be used to 'start' the Smart Terrain or Exteded Tracking?

Thank you,

Sam
