Official AR Foundation v4.0

Great! Now I've got to get myself a new iPad!

 

Thank you!
Going to integrate to my app right now!

 

Great! I'll upgrade my project right away, really looking forward using the OcclusionMeshes!

 

Can you tell us when to join cloud Spatial Anchors?

 

None of these samples are working for me... what am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks! It all works very well.

 

I have a question about "ARRaycastManager.AddRaycast" function. The function always returns null. How is the "estimatedDistance" parameter specified? Could you please show an useful sample code?

 

With 4.0.0-preview.3 packages, ARRaycastManager.AddRaycast is only supported on iOS devices with ARKit 3.0 and later.

 

Thank you for your response.
I use iPad Pro 11 inch 2nd generation (with LiDAR) and ARKit 3.5 (Xcode 11.5).

Sorry, I've posted same question at "Handheld AR > ARKit" forum.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-use-arraycastmanager-addraycast.894910/

 

Is it also possible to use the Facetracking but with NO degrees of freedom? Right now it always 3 or 6.

 

Memory Leak!

 

Is there an occlusion shader in ARFoundation that provides a similar occlusion effect to the one in Apple's AR Quick Look(https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/quick-look/)? By this I mean fading out objects around the edges of the spatial mesh instead of doing a hard cut.

 

Now that iOS supports human body tracking with the front camera via vndetecthumanbodyposerequest (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10653/)
Are there plans to add support for this to AR Foundation?

 

Does it support ARCore also in the future?

 

Which ARFoundation should I install for a new project, which needs to be done in 7 weeks? Do I go with the verified 2.1.8 version, or jump on version 4?
If I want to target iPhone 6s, can I do that with ARFoundation 4, but not use some of the advance features now offered?

I currently only need image tracking (maybe object tracking), horizontal plane detection, and occlusion would be an incredible bonus.

 

hi,

After upgrading to 4.1 preview 6 i get a black screen in the face mask demo and camera seems to not open at all, is just the demo from the github of preview6, without any changes and all pckages upgraded to that version.

Is there any chance that this would go back to working soon as now this version does not work at all.

Thanks in advance

I use Unity 2019.4.5f1 and the project is working fine in AR foundation 3.1.0 - preview 8

The only changes were
- Upgraded from Unity 2019.3.7f1 to Unity 2019.4.5f1
- Upgraded all AR related pakcages to 4.1.0-preview 6
- Copied all github latest preview items to my project folder overwriting the previous AR samples

 

It's probably too late now, but if you are using the URP (Universal Render Pipeline), you need at least ARFoundation 3 (verified as of Unity 2020.1). If you want occlusion support, you need the newest ARFoundation 4.1.0 Preview 6. You could run into bugs or features that aren't perfectly implemented with that since it's a preview build, though. Personally, if it was an important project that needed to be done quickly, I'd choose ARFoundation 3 - it'll be more up-to-date than 2, more stable than 4, with both more features and fewer changes that would need to be made when eventually upgrading to 4.

 

Hi all, banging my head on some weird behaviour I'm seeing -

I'm using the tracked image manager to make a prefab appear atop a trigger image. When I have the AR Camera Background enabled, I see the real world out the rear camera, that's fine, but all my meshes turn grey (screen2). If I disable the AR Camera Background, and change no other settings, then my meshes appear correct (screen1 - the blobs are animated so they're in a different position, but you can see the textures correctly rendering).

* All the blob meshes are using standard shader.
* Unity 2020.1
* ARFoundation 4.1.0-preview6
* iPhone 11 Pro Max (everything works great in ARCore / Android!)

To debug, I made the prefab a direct child game object to my AR Camera, so that it's locked in place 1 or 2 units in front of the camera, always. Same result - grey meshes if AR Camera Background is on.

Any ideas on what could be the problem here? I've fiddled with graphics/player settings (forward rendering, legacy rendering) but to no avail.

Thank you!

 

For the benefit of anyone else seeing this - I've worked around the issue by attaching a new camera directly underneath the AR camera, making the new camera render after the AR camera (setting depth higher than AR camera), then making the AR camera render nothing but the background (Culling Mask: nothing) and making the "subcamera" render everything. Not optimal but only a slight performance hit, and I'm sick of trying to figure out how to get everything to render on a single camera.

 

Try upgrading to a beta version of Xcode 12.

 

We have not seen other reports of this behavior. Please log a bug via Issue Tracker if this problem still exists.

 

Can we expect to see support for Google Mediapipe instant motion tracking in the near-future? The fact it has the ability to perform AR tracking across devices and platforms, without initialization, remains important for powering AR applications at scale.

Hello,

Any new about support ARKit GeoAnchor and ARCore Cloud Anchor?

Best,
Alexis

 

Here is an example of ARKit GeoAnchor:
https://github.com/Unity-Technologi...tree/main/Assets/Scenes/ARKit/ARKitGeoAnchors

ARCore Cloud Anchors are already supported, but you need to install this package:
https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-unity-extensions

 

Thanks !!
I miss this ARfoundation samples update.

Best,
Alexis

 

hi guys,
thank you for the wonderful work.

I'm interested in making a try-on simulator and place a standard eye glasses over the head. we can even think about a necklace or anything similar of some sort.
i cant seem to manage to do so in an easy way, since I do not know the position and size of the virtual face.
it is easy to create a new material for the face, but when I want to add a 3d object attached to a face joint, this is not the same.

do we already have such a solution?
if not, what do I need to do?

thanks
