The Vuforia Area Target Creator app is available for selected iOS devices with inbuilt LiDAR scanners.
#AREA MODELS HOW TO#
See the Area Target Capture API article on how to get started. This opens up new ways of augmenting environments by sharing the Area Targets between devices and users visiting the same space. In smaller spaces you can capture, generate and use Area Target Databases at runtime, directly in the app. With the Area Target Capture API of the Vuforia Engine SDK you can build apps capturing Area Targets on selected iOS devices with inbuilt LiDAR scanners. If you plan to scan a space and you do not have a scanner, follow the recommendations provided on the Best Practices Guide for optimal scanner selection. ARKit enabled devices with inbuilt LiDAR sensors,.Vuforia Area Targets supports scans made with: The output of the scan process is imported into the Area Target Generator which returns a set of dataset files, meshes, and Unity packages. Use the Vuforia SDK that matches the version of the generated Area Target.Īrea Targets are created from a digital model obtained with one of the supported 3D scanning technologies listed below. Backwards compatibility with older SDKs is not possible. Re-generate your existing Area Targets in the Area Target Generator 10.4 or later to strengthen their robustness for changing lighting conditions. Starting from Vuforia Engine 10.4, Area Targets are now more robust to lighting changes, improved relocalization, and generated database sizes are half the size. Offices, factory floors, apartments, public spaces, museums, and many more areas are ideal locations for Area Targets. This enables creating games, navigation applications, and spatial instructions that are all using the surroundings as interactive elements to be explored. By using a 3D scan as an accurate model of the space to create an Area Target Device Database, you can easily deliver augmentations to stationary objects in the scanned environment. Area Targets is a Vuforia powered environment tracking feature that enables you to track and augment areas and spaces.
