Our AR headset needs to be tethered to a workstation PC where the actual work is being done all day (which will be the case for many real-world applications).



Vuforia needs to work on desktops and laptops please!

Would love to be able, again, to delete Vuforia Database from Vuforia WebSite (used to be possible before as I've heard about).

Cheers,

Hello @CeciLisCosta,

Have you reviewed our External Camera feature? https://library.vuforia.com/content/vuforia-library/en/articles/Solution/external-camera.html

Thanks,

Vuforia Engine Support

I wish I could be able to feed vuforia with frames from another source than directly from the camera. It would make Vuforia more generic for some devices which does not offer full compatibitity. 

Unreal Engine 4 it would be amazing!!!

Is it convenient to introduce what kind of plug-in it is?

PROBLEM:

I urge the Vuforia development team to increase the robustness of Vuforia API.  It's the Vuforia API that convinced me to use your product.  But like all frameworks, I immediately bumped its limits.

For example, the Vuforia 3d scanning tool use is limited.  My application requires unique feature point extraction when building a dataset for a 3d object target.  Such that I want to build my own custom 3D scanning tool.  In particular, I need five independent, detectable regions of a single 3d object. 

I suspect there are many developers that require an extensible AR framework that adapts to every application possibility. 

Only a rich API of low level and high level functions can satisfy our needs.  If you make the API too simple (e.g. Wikitude, etc.), then it will always remain a toy.  And not a professional developer's go to framework.

WISH LIST:

Provide low level functions to manage collections of feature extraction points during target dataset creation.

get_featurePointsList()

remove_featurePoint()

add_featurePoint()

modify_featurePoint()

save_featurePointsList()

Provide feature extraction points that discern color contrast for object pattern recognition. 

We live in a colorful world, yet it seems your feature extraction functions rely exclusively on luminosity -- and not hue.

I wish Vuforia will support PC in the future，because I need to use a richer feature in. Net, and faster computing power.

thanks！

There is a high demand for combining Ground Plane and Image Targets. It should be able to get the Image Target location in Ground Plane and vice versa.

This would have mulltiple use cases, as discussed in this thread: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/ground-plane/combining-ground-plane-and-image-targets

20000+ vies already.

Problem

It's hard to manage a large number of targets via the target manager (web interface) without any simple search functionality.

Simplest solution

Add a additional select option to the pagination dropdown list to show all targets (this is limited to 200 at the moment).

This way someone who has to manage large amounts of targets (like me) can at least use the browser search function to find a uniq target without the effort of paginating through N pages.

Better solution

Add a simple search bar (doesn't have to be fuzzy for now) to search for a exactly match of the target name.

e.g. searching for my_target_1 will only show my_target_1

Even better solution

Add a fuzzy search bar to return a collection of everything that could be interesting.

e.g. searching for my_target* will show my_target_1, my_target_2, ...

Unfortunately, this wish is from 2015 or earlier. Vuforia developers, please, add this.

I'd like to be able to run vuforia in the unity web player on mobile devices. This would allow me to sidestep the ludicrous build process required by apple for the itunes app store.

Very much agree, particularly about the 3D point cloud!

- ARCore publishes its internal point cloud

- ARKit publishes its internal point cloud

- Smart Terrain has been deprecated

So if an application wants to do hit-testing against the real world, Vuforia Fusion + Ground Plane sounds like a good option, but in practice it is not usable (please correct me if I'm wrong). Instead, developers have to revert to the underlying platform-specific libraries.. Please add this as a feature to 7.2!

Publishing the 2D points is also useful: then we can give better feedback to the user about the usability of the current environment for tracking. 

QRCode recognition would be a highly useful feature, This could give developers the ability to place 3D content against unkown QR codes to give functionality eg to go to link in QR code by pressing 3D button. 

I'd love to be able to track objects from further away. 

Having more languages to text recognition would be perfect. Latin is not enough nowadays. Some Chinese or Korean would be great :)

I think the delete database function is a fundamental need.

The only reason I can think about for not having this feature is that Vuforia is not actually deleting the targets I've uploaded and you need the databases to index them.

In other words, my suspicious is that instead of removing my pics you're just adding a isDeleted=true field in the DB.

Thanks

Vertical plane (wall recoginition) - ARKit 1.5 and ARCore 1.2 already have this kind of feature and it would be awesome if it will be implemented soon.

About the ground plane feature, give access to the feature points or the cloud of points directly please :) It would be a big change in term of UX!

We need vuforia on Moverio BT-350!!!!

Support for Standalone Application (PC and Mac) in Unity, It is a much needed thing. 

Stand alone PC application feature would be nice and is much required. I found plug in for this but it cost extra and  is not officially from vuforia.

Good grief yes, We are constantly caught out by this.

I really wish the viewforia forums would stop with the inverse-response style forums. The posts are in reverse-chronological order which just makes no sense! I guess you guys did it so that the answer to the question in the OP would be at the top of the page (assuming the answer would be the final post in the thread) but more often than not the final post is some offhand context-less answer and you need to trawl through the thread anyway just to find the original question was nothing like the on you were asking. You guys could maybe use the stack-overflow model? I'm pretty sure they whitelabel that platform...

We desperately need OCR to recognize numbers (0-9) please.

Our clients refuse to change their ID's to use roman numerals instead :(

Support for PC. Definitely.

I would love support for PC. Think about the accessibility software you could build for people in need...

More support in terms of tutorials of projects

Maybe I will take time to add a plugin to support it later

i want to delete my databases because i don't use most of them. i read that it is removed. Please bring it back :) 

UE4 Support would be great.

This is a feature we are waiting for for a very long time now. I cannot understand why standalone builds are not possible. Vuforia works in the Play mode of the Unity editor pretty well, so this has to be an intentional decision instead of a technical limitation.

Deleting databases that users create is not a nicety, but a necessity. It is like having toilet paper in the bathroom. You can't do without it. Please fix.

Ability to retrieve images from vws API, GET all the images in imagetargets

Ability to change camera shutter speed. Just a way to reduce motion blur.

Thanks!

We are dearly missing support for desktop apps on MacOS and Windows. Albeit this works in the editor, it doesn't work in a production build. Would open up a lot of amazing applications.

Pre processing of camera feed X 2

so for instance could play with contrast so could try to make reflective objects with artwork on more detectable.

Just took a look at the unreleased Unity Beta. Noticed addition of Positional Device Tracking.

My vote would definitely be this:

#1) Replace roational/positional tracking model correction with ARKit & ARCore tracking (just their rotational tracking & positional IMU tracking implementations, if their full visual SLAM is too heavy to run in the background of Vuforia). I noticed the addition of Positional Device Tracking in the unreleased Unity Beta 2017.2.0b10. Really looking excited and hoping this doesn't just mean adding Hololens compatibility.

#2) Unreal Engine. This is a must for us to keep using Vuforia. With ARCore & ARKit now on Unreal Engine, we can no longer afford to do future projects in Unity anymore, so this means making due with ARKit/ARCore World Tracking until Vuforia Image Tracking arrives in Unreal Engine. The graphics in Unity are just too cheap-looking for our client demos.

Hello!



It would be nice to have an access to the text recognition string for the unidentified words, so there would be a way to scan strings that were not added to the list (sometimes it is not possible to add all strings that you want to be detected by text recognition - like codes that are going to be send to backend to check if they are valid to be used).



Thank you!

I would like to delete one of my Databases, becsuse people may create some useless Databases carelessly.

If it's unable to delete, one's Databases would be chaos and confused.

Sincerely.

U4 Support please.

Hi all!

Return the ability to delete Datebase in Target Manager

It turns out a dump from test projects.

Or tell me how to remove Database

Thanks Sincerely, Victor

It would be really nice to be able to save or upload a UDT, I can think of several cases where it would be handy to save a user's target.

Hello

Can we still not upload the image direct to Device Database through any api ? is it still manual to upload the images ?

I really need to upload images direct to device database without any manual work...

Hi..

I want to scan many unique words like arabic / japanese / chinese words.

Last info i can reach from this :https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/android/arabic-text-recognition

It can`t detect the unique words. May i can get help or this can be an good update from future release.

Many thanks..

Definitely Unreal Engine should be on the to-do list, guys.

The good looks of UE4 graphics combined with the excellent tracking of Vuforia would make a nice duo.

Thanks!
