New: CAD & Object Differences

Our 9.25.0 release now includes advanced capabilities for identifying differences between CAD models and physical objects. This update introduces a new transparent outline rendering feature, allowing users to visually distinguish digital from physical with greater precision and clarity. This change allows users to accurately identify deviations, missing components, or incorrect placements during inspections. In addition, other shaders have been updated to further improve your AR experience. For more information on these updates, please read the Release Notes or watch our new video.

Coming Soon: AngularJS Update in 10.0 Release

In the upcoming 10.0 release (targeted for May 2025), Vuforia Studio will update from AngularJS 1.5 and Ionic 1.3.3 to AngularJS 1.8.3. This update aims to modernize the platform and enhance security for both the software and published experiences. These future changes should not affect any out-of-the-box functionality or published experiences but may affect custom JavaScript code in Home.js of your experiences and require updates to ensure your experiences function properly after republishing with the new version.

If you intend to upgrade to Vuforia Studio 10.0, be prepared to retest and update your experiences as necessary once the release becomes available in May. Vuforia Studio 9.25 will remain the long-term supported version, enabling continued use before transitioning to Vuforia Studio 10.0. While Vuforia View and the Experience Service will maintain backward compatibility, Vuforia Studio will not. For more detailed information about migrating AngularJS code, see the Migrating an App to a newer version topic in the AngularJS Developer Guide. For further details about this update, please visit this page.

We appreciate your continued support and enthusiasm for Vuforia Studio. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as we strive to deliver cutting-edge solutions to elevate your augmented reality experiences. As always, to find more information, please read our Release Notes.

 With 2025 now fully underway, we are delighted to deliver the first release of the year. This feature-rich release brings new upgrades that work to elevate Model Target tracking capabilities, while simplifying authoring for several functions and appearance setups. Read on to learn more about Vuforia Studio 9.24.0.

New: State Based Model Target Capabilities

We are excited to introduce new State-based Model Target Capabilities for Model Targets. With this new addition to Studio, customers can continuously track an object that is capable of being in different states and configurations. So, whether an object has parts that need to be added, removed, or even manipulated, customers can still easily track their model targets.

This enhancement gives customers the ability to build experiences that support service technicians and factory workers with assembly procedures. Customers can easily import files and data from Creo Illustrate, CAD models, and even Windchill to allow for a seamless experience with state-based model targets.

For more information see: Model Target

New: Predefined Shaders for 3D Models

Take control of 3D objects with our predefined set of shaders in Studio. With this update, customers can utilize standard shaders to build better experiences around specific parts of models, or the entire model, all without requiring expertise in shader programming. These parameters can be applied and utilized to:

• Highlight a selected model item.
• Use “Flow” to indicate the direction of a movement.
• Use different Cut shaders to focus on inside geometry.
• And much more! Please see our Help Center documentation for our complete list of shader options.

For more information, see: Shaders

New: Number Input Widget

In our new release, we are introducing a standalone Number Input Widget. Users previously had to define either text or number type input within the Text Input Widget to include numerical data. We have simplified authoring user input fields by separating Number Input into its own widget. This way it will be much more straightforward to author experiences requiring numeric user input.

For more information, see: Number Input

New: Zinc Widget for Remote Assistance 

We are excited to introduce Zinc, a remote communication and collaboration tool that can be utilized to boost efficiency. With the new Zinc widget, users can easily access remote assistance from experts via the PTC Zinc App.

Here's a spotlight on what's new in the Studio 9.23.0 release:

New: Studio Experience API Extensions
Perform design review geometry changes interactively during AR sessions

Did you know AR is a great way to view 3D designs next to/on top of physical objects during design reviews? 

Our customers love to use Vuforia Studio for their design reviews, as viewing 3D objects directly in the real world is a quick and easy way to uncover areas for improvement. Our new API takes this to the next level. Now, you can use the userpick event to return geometry information while in the AR experience. This means you can now mark exact geometric information directly inside the AR viewing experience and then use this exact location to enrich the authoring experience with POIs and other augmentations.

For more information, see:

Geometric Information Mapping with the userpick Event

New: Tracking Status API Now Available
  Use AR for faster and more reliable As-built comparisons 

Do you have inspection use cases that require As-built comparisons between a physical object and the CAD design? Or are you looking to distinguish actual differences vs. tracking inaccuracies?

Our new tracking-status API now permits Experiences to react on unreliable tracking, allowing you to build your own business logic linked to tracking status or tracking status changes. 

For more information, see:

Tracking-status API

New: Multibyte Characters Now Fully Supported
  We speak your language!

Here's a spotlight on what's new in the Studio 9.21.0 release:

New Observation for Stationary Objects preset:
Initiate Model Target recognition even when close to a large object

Are you working with Vuforia Studio to track large objects such as cars, stationary tabletop objects, or large machinery? If yes, you have probably found yourself walking far away from your object to initiate the model-based tracking. Our new Observation for Stationary Objects preset is here to make your life much easier!

Users can now define Model Target viewing ranges much closer to the physical object than the "Dome preset." This results in a more seamless Model Target recognition, especially when the user is close to a large object. Observation for Stationary Objects guide view is now available for Advanced Views for objects that can be recognized from any angle when standing around them but not below them.
