Here's a spotlight on what's new in the Studio 9.13.0 release:

Introducing the New Model Target Editor
 with Enhanced Configurations

The quickest and easiest way to configure Standard & Advanced Model Targets - directly inside Vuforia Studio 

Our new Model Target Editor includes a simplified step-by-step user experience for you to configure Standard and Advanced Model Targets directly in Vuforia Studio. Simply click "Configure Model Target" and let the step-by-step navigation guide you through your Model Target creation.  But that's not all, the new integration also gives you access to some cool new capabilities such as Automatic Coloring, model simplification for Advanced Model Targets, the ability to add multiple Advanced Views, and much more.

Advanced Model Targets
Now Available for On-Prem Installations!

You heard it right - on-premises installations can now take advantage of Advanced Model Targets (AMT). This is a major step for customers with on-prem installations wanting to create 360º object recognition. If your organization could benefit from AMTs, make sure to reach out to your Vuforia Studio administrator so that they can update your Vuforia Experience Service (VES) to 9.13.0. If you are the Vuforia Studio admin, simply click the link below to request your secret keys for AMTs - and we will get you up and running in no time!

Advanced Model Targets - Instant recognition from any angle

That's right! Advanced Model Targets (AMT) are a big deal if you are looking to track an object from all sides or multiple pre-defined positions. In comparison to standard tracking, AMTs support the recognition and tracking of an object from a range of up to 360 degrees, without requiring the user to manually align the view with the orientation of the physical object. Perfect for use cases with large, stationary objects that you can walk around, such as cars or tractors.

But that's not all!

With each release, we have a ton of new improvements. Here are just a few other highlights from the last releases:

• Vuforia Studio - An issue was resolved where the orientation of a Model Target was incorrect after duplicating a project.
• Vuforia View  - An issue was resolved where the Chalk widget no longer launched the Chalk app.
• Vuforia View  - An issue was resolved where videos, documents, and audio files from a linked ThingWorx file repository would not load in a 3D Eyewear experience.

Here's a spotlight on what's new in the Studio 9.11.0 release:

Advanced Camera Control: 
Quickly take sharper pictures

Advanced camera controls are now available for all users to help take sharper pictures on iOS devices. By default, we have Tap to Focus turned off - this uses the device’s automatic focus areas and exposure settings. However, if you would like to take control of the focus area, simply turn on Tap to Focus to manually select the focus of interest by tapping on a specific area of the screen.

We've changed how Vuforia Studio Checks for Updates

You will no longer be automatically prompted with the Update Available window when a new version of Vuforia Studio is available. Beginning in version 9.11.0, you must manually check for updates by navigating to the Vuforia Studio menu in the upper-right corner and selecting Check for Updates. Once the Check for Updates window appears, compare Your version with the version that is displayed above the list of new features. 

For more information, see Update Vuforia Studio to the Latest Version. 

Vuforia View - Update on Supported Devices

As of September 2023, Vuforia View will no longer be supported on a selection of Windows and Vuzix devices. 

During the 4-month deprecation period, Technical Support will still be available, and PTC will continue to provide maintenance and security updates for Vuforia View on the devices listed in the link below. However, no enhancements or new features will be released for Vuforia View on these devices.

Vuforia Studio is now available for download
on the Microsoft Store for Windows OS

We have made it easier for you and your users to install Vuforia Studio. While the existing Vuforia Studio installer will still be available in 9.10.0, we encourage you to use the new Microsoft Store download (appxbundle) that is now available.

Sunset: Vuforia Area Target Creator App

But fear not, we have something new and improved for you...

...Introducing: Vuforia Creator App
