Is Vuforia capable of placing virtual objects inside a virutal environment?

By Platurt on Tue, 07/28/2020 - 11:45

So I want to place an object on a table and the application is supposed to create a virtual world on the table and then place a virtual object inside that world where the real object is in the real world.

 

Idea is that I can use the reference object just for the initial position of the virtual object, and then let the virtual object move around without the reference object remaining onscreen (or requiring to still be tracked).

 

If someone could tell me if Vuforia is the right SDK for that and if so, what would be the rough approach I should take, that would be great. Initially I thought smartscene was what I was looking for, but now I'm not so sure.

Hi,

Out of the box, no, we don't have a feature that handles this type of use-cases.

However you can certainly develop your app using a mixture of Vuforias features like GroundPlane and Object reco that will aid in covering your use-case.

Thank you.
