The Vuforia Advanced Model Targets 360 introduces instantaneous recognition and tracking of physical objects, regardless of the viewing position. You must have a good model of your real world object to try this out, but the results are fantastic and better than object tracking I have used to this point. In addition to having a model (an untextured obj is fine) you must upload the target model to Vuforia cloud where is trained by a deep learning process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-448 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/AR-mechanic-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"419\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AR-mechanic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AR-mechanic-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AR-mechanic-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The result is super fast recognition of an object on a mobile phone or even a webcam.

Then you have to make everything a child of the AR camera or broadcast the coordinates and heading. However, this new capability is definitely a game changer and I expect to see more Vuforia usage very soon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vuforia recently released a new way to track real objects using computer vision.
