Vuforia Engine requires a specific setup for the material and its textures in order to ensure that the video background is rendered correctly each frame. Our workaround solution is to not directly use the VB material (which create a new instance), but create a new material and reference textures from a reference to the first one (i.e. sharedMaterial). Our example creates a shallow copy and does all the necessary setup required for rendering the camera feed.

With Unity 2018.4 LTS, you might see compiler errors like below when using Vuforia:

Assets\Vuforia\Scripts\Internal\RuntimeOpenSourceInitializer.cs(61,63): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'ScriptableRenderContext' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine.Rendering' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

This can be easily resolved by opening that script, and change all occurrences of

#if UNITY_2018_3

to:

#if UNITY_2018

We are aware of the following known issues with Unity 2019.1. They are not seen with Unity 2018.4, so for now we recommend to stick to that version.

Update: this has been fixed in Unity 2019.1.4f1

We are currently looking into a known issue where errors like the following are displayed after importing a Vuforia sample from the Asset Store into Unity 2019.1:

Library/PackageCache/com.unity.package-manager-ui@2.0.3/Editor/Sources/UI/PackageDetails.cs(5,32): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'UIElements' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine.Experimental' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Hello,

We are currently aware of two known issues with Cloud Build and are working closely with Unity to resolve them:

Hello,

Recently, Vuforia released 7.2 SDK with updated samples to the Unity Asset Store. These samples are not compatible with the 7.1 SDK, which is already packaged with most (if not all) of the current versions of the 2018.1 and 2018.2 Unity Editor.

The most common Vuforia error message observed is the following: "The type or namespace name `FusionProviderType' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?"

Hello All,

The steps for patching the Vuforia version in Unity 2018.1 when it is installed via the Unity Hub is a bit more involved when on a Mac. The follow instructions are meant to guide you through this upgrade process.

Note: These steps are for Mac. Updating on Windows can be done by running the Vuforia upgrade package and selecting the version of Unity within the Hub directory which can be found in C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/<your version>

Hello,

Attached is Vuforia’s version of the app-level fix scripts provided by @adrianj (many thanks!) in the following forum thread. This can be used immediately with SDK 6.5 (Unity 2017.2), SDK 7.0 (Unity 2017.3) and SDK 7.1 (Unity 2018.1).

Here are the recommended steps for installing and enabling:
