InternetClient capability and Security measures

By Steshenko on Thu, 04/30/2020 - 15:21

Hi, I am a student at the University of South-Eastern Norway and I am writing a review of Vuforia's features for a client as a part of my bachelor's project.

The customer wants to use the HoloLens headset for object tracking and overlaying interactive AR content on a physical object. It is to be applied in an industrial process where security measures are very strict, and the device can not have an internet connection.

I see that Vuforia Features require InternetClient capability to be checked in Player Settings -> Publish Settings in Unity. Can someone explain what exactly this capability is used for and if it is possible to deploy an application without it? I am especially interested in Model Targets, Image Targets and VuMarks. (References are appreciated). Kind regards, Alina

Hi,

All Vuforia features, except Cloud Reco :) work without internet connection. However some require data to be uploaded to our servers for processing/creating the databases used by the SDK. This are 2 distinct things.
