Windows 8 phone please, unity now suports it

And thank you for the great work vuforia team!

If you do have planes for this I would love to have a date if possble.

It really will be so nice to access "device databases" via API calls as cloud system. We can create targets and upload images and getting xml and .dat files with our CMS system.

It would be very cool if you could preprocess the image returned from the camera - like applying a certain filter. This would be very helpful in generating good image targets.

Feature request: Do not reprocess the tracker during 5 minutes just for changing width

Width or Metadata changes should not re trigger a full image processing that takes minutes to end.

And should not require that the tracker is in ready state.

Feature request: adding a cloud tracker with url instead of imag

On this page:

https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/adding-target-cloud-database-api

The create cloud tracker is defined with an "image" parameter as "Base64 encoded binary image file in JPG or PNG format".

Is it possible to add a mutualy exclusive "image_url" parameter ?

Why the target manager web site cannot remember me? 

Hi,

I work much times with target manager and it would be interesting the web page save my account and the option to remember the password.

Hi,

I would like a workaround to resolve the zoom problem. Now we cannot work with the ARCamera fov in runtime because it is fixed by QCar lib. So, I'm interesting to see some possibles workarounds and maybe one option is to use another Unity camera. It means, while the ARCamera go on to recognise the imagetarget and then we can show digital content the other camera could do the zoom over this content.

Regards,

Jordi

Is there a Target Manager Filter?

Hi,

When I load a lot of images in the target manager sometimes is difficult to manage it. Are there any option to filter the target manager content? Maybe, filter by name or if it contain a word, or the size, etc. 

Regards,

Jordi 

+1 on unity desktop support. Dying to export an exe build.

Would open up so much more possibilities, desktop can run much more powerful 3D graphics.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! NEEEEED otherwise I have not use for this... :( 

Wanted to make an app for an event as a promotion gimic. using a webcam and a massive tv.

desktop support for Unity please!!

Add desktop support!

It would be gratful if you could add methods responsible for serializing Trackable objects from the application. Now, we can use UserDefinedTargets but there is no possibility to share trackables between other applications.

Best regards,

Desktop support, please!

Hi,

I need number recognition for my application.

Can you add number reading.

Thanks.

Hello,

I would like to see automatic uniqueness verification implemented to the cloud database. Meaning that the target is added to existing cloud database only if it is different enough from the other, so will be identifiable and will not affect identifiably of others.

It is simply a must have feature if you want to do a user defined cloud database targets. Such functionality is a great opportunity for vuforia as it brings user generated content to AR.

Thx, klen

I have faced similar issues with target images, where one image is in fact contained within another image, for example a brand's logo (first target image) and a poster that has some artwork that includes that logo (second target image). In this case, Vuforia's performance seems to be unpredictable. When pointing the camera at the second target image, sometimes it would "see it" as the first target image, and other times as the second.

It seems to me the Vuforia returns true for the first successful match in its search and comparison algorithm. I think such an issue could be solved by using a "best-match" approach, rather than a "first-match" approach. I do realise that this could impact the perfomance of the detection algorithm since it would always go through all the images in the dataset, but it would be helpful if this approach was at least an option for those who need it.

Thanks!

NUMBER RECOGNITION!! (it's absurd that these aren't recognized - complete dealbreaker).

While using the Unity Vuforia environemnt for building apps. I'd like to have the ability to build an app for PCs and MACs that support the webcam as in the Play function within Unity.

As in this thread:

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-3-extension-technical-discussion/webcam-support-20

Some way to create the .dat file out of Manager Target, for example with QCAR api.

It is very interesant to develop AR projects.

Thank you very much.

Support for joints.

Sometimes trackables are not in a rigid relationship to each other (such as they are in a MultiTarget) - but are also not completely free. Instead, they are connected for example by a hinge joint (this is a common case, for example the open side of a cardbox) or (less commonly) a ball joint.

While it's possible to track such cases using individual ImageTargets, I'm sure that the solver could (at least in theory) do a much better job at tracking if it would know about such semi-rigid constraints between ImageTargets and could incorporate this knowledge into the computation.

this please!

THIS!!!! This is exactly what I need!!! It would be awesome if my app users could create their own targets using my own web page. This feature is really important. Thanks!

Text recognition does not work on numbers. Please make it work for numbers as well.

I second this.  I would like to be able to use irregular shaped 3D objects as tracking targets too.

Thanks

Hi all,

Please integrate the support for Camera Zoom in/Zoom out in upcoming releases of Vuforia SDK.Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Surjit

you reading text sollution NEED's all languages support and also the ability to read numbers and display them!

I strongly request you to provide a Mac and PC support for Vuforia. It's a great tool but lacks this major issue. I hope this request will be taken into your consideration. Thanks!

Hi,

Has there been any movment on providing Mac and PC desktop builds?

I don't understand why this hasn't been supported, especially as it works in the editor. Its a major sticking point for using vuforia and is forcing us to evaluate alternatives, which is a real shame as for most cases vuforia is perfect for our needs.

I'll third that, number support for Text Recognition, yes please.

I second this. maybe not tracking numbers, but at least reading numbers.

Thanks!

Please integrade FacialProcessing from Snapdragon SDK so we have a complete AR solution with face tracking.

Thank you.

Text recognition does not work on numbers. I believe it should. Please make it work for numbers as well. Thanks.

this will be a MUST .

Hope to see .EXE from unity....

@janantikey do you mean a code sample demonstrating how to download, load and activate a dataset at runtime?

If so, we have several examples on the forum. Try posting a question to the forum for the SDK version that you are using.

Example for download dat and xml file from url in mobile device and then image detection.

In UserDefinedTargets sample of AR, the image is captured from camera also there should be ability to store images locally or from server that can be used as an image target. More that one image for image target can also be very useful

Number recogniton for the text tracking is the most important addition to the current SDK that I know of.

@kilelr,

A rendering engine for Vuforia and IOS/Android is already available: www.unity3d.com

We would really like the ability to remove the cloud's api's visual scanline and points. It's difficult to use the cloud features with these elements present in our viewport. If their rendering cannot be disabled easily for some reason, then please add an alpha value to the set colour functions so the line and dots can be "hidden" if desired.

Standalone build for Unity...

It'd be great to have a geo-location based AR in the same SDK. I've been using this SDK for more than two years now and this works flawless for me. I think the only thing missing here is a geo-location AR. In case i'm not making myself clear, I suggest something like Wikitude or Layar where a developer can define POIs (Points of Interest) and the application would detect them(and obviously, augment them with graphics or 3d models or videos) when the user is nearby. Can I get an idea about whether this is on your to-do list or not?
