Version Info

Release date: 18.10.2017

Release info: ARKit beta Release

General

Enhancements/Features

• Adding ARKit BETA support when enabling extendibleTracking by default on iOS devices. This requires Xcode 9 to compile. ARKit is weakly linked, so you can disable it anyway on legacy < Xcode 9/iOS11 versions by removing the ARKit.framework dependency. You can force disabling the usage of AR by setting tracker.parameters.disableExternalSLAM=true. When ARKit support is enabled the image will have a different resolution.
• Many performance optimizations on iOS
• Allowing writing initData using a predefined uri/filename.
• Gave some parameters new default values: minNumOfCorrespondences=50, gradientThreshold=40
• Update of HoloLens tracker to set proper intrinsics for tracking

Interfaces

Documentation Changes

• Better documentation for vlSDK Objective-C interface and resolving some minor issues.
• Updated the UnitySDK Quick Start to enable you setting up the tracker well.
• Update of HoloLens tutorial Deploying to HoloLens
