Change Log

Featured:

  • Grid. We created a new visual grid system and a snap-to-grid feature which significantly improves the usability of augmentation placement. The drop position is indicated with a 'ghost preview' of the currently selected augmentation. Grid spacing, default rotation angles, and default resizing steps can now be configured.
  • Better editors. We redesigned the editors of the image, video, audio, label, and model augmentations.
  • HoloLens is back. We updated the world space implementation to bring the HoloLens 2 application back in line with current developments.

Added:

  • We rewrote the calibration routines for both edit mode and view mode, adding a floor manager to allow setting the floor plane.
  • We added gallery upload functionality on mobiles for the step marker feature of task stations and for the image/video augmentations.
  • We added a player tutorial for mobiles and smart glasses which uses a tutorial activity that is written out internally every time the tutorial is started to ensure the viewer tutorial is not modified by the user.
  • The marker feature of task stations now shows up with a preview thumbnail button in view mode.
  • We added auto-saving of the activity title.

Changed:

  • We simplified the functionality of the pick and place augmentation, added a trigger for incorrect placement, and improved its manipulation when using a 3D model instead of the default arrow.
  • We added auto-detection of orientation for images.
  • We removed the 'Search' button from the bottom panel on all screens except the 'Home' screen.
  • The ARETE learning record store has now been taken offline, so we removed this LRS option. Please switch to WEKIT learning record store.

Fixed:

  • We fixed the bug that prevented re-editing of effect augmentations.
  • The bottom panel now always shows the current step, and we fixed a bug here throwing an error when minimizing the curtain.
  • We made SketchFab authentication a tad more robust.
  • The calibration marker is now no longer orientation sensitive (hanging upright vs laying flat).
  • Deleting an action step now removes it from the workplace model.

Enterprise:

  • We added new settings to BrandManager and BrandConfiguration, now allowing for the activation and deactivation of augmentation types, as well as for setting the calibration marker.

Developer:

  • We retired Vuforia on mobile platforms and replaced it with ARfoundation.
  • We updated OpenXR and Vuforia in the HoloLens implementation.
  • We fixed the action linux and windows workflows to support LFS.
  • We added a debug log window to the smart glasses implementation (click person icon, click "{}").
  • We added tutorial manager facilities for 'world space' hints on mobile.
  • We now have a new bottom multiline dialog with toggles.
  • Long tap on mobiles now brings up the context menu (see new model augmentation editor).
