Vertical Planes Support for UWP Devices #79

Open tsoen opened 9 months ago

tsoen commented 9 months ago

Describe your feature Hello, Using Vuforia 10.19 on Unity. We are trying to migrate to Vuforia from Wikitude (because they announced their end-of-service), and one main feature that was present in Wikitude and is missing from Vuforia is this ability to detect vertical planes (not only ground, horizontal planes). We looked into AR Foundation, however it doesn't support UWP, and our project is made for Android as well as Windows tablets.

Use-case description Adding 3D objects in front of the user if he is working on some equipment in front of him (against a wall), not on the ground. (remote assistance).

Business impact Missing feature compared to Wikitude.

Workaround Only workaround I have in mind would be to use the Mid-Air feature to place a vertical grid in front of the user to represent the plane, however it wouldn't match the exact distance between the user and the plane, and the orientation (tilt / angle) would not be detected automatically.

Hello, we have no plans for (UWP) vertical planes support. However we'll keep this issue open and raise your request to product management's attention for consideration. We do support AR Foundation, but as you noticed, it is only supported for ARCore / ARKit supported devices: https://developer.vuforia.com/library/unity-extension/vuforia-engine-and-ar-foundation.
