Release v2026.1 (new streamlined versioning)
Release Date: 06 Jul 2026
This release presents a major year-in-the-making Nuitrack update including
a range of internal changes laying the groundwork for future updates
as well as certain new features.
- Depth Sensing:
- the camera model was extended to include vendor/camera-specific parameters such as distortion coefficients
- sensor-agnostic access to IMU capabilities provided by certain 3D sensors (in beta)
- SkeletonTracker:
- new "AI Beta" tracking engine with extended coverage of lying and seated poses
- tracking fixes for modern wide-angle 3D sensors
- Basic Multisensor (without spatial fusion):
- now compatible with Subscription licenses
- Nuitrack Viewer - new "True 3D" visualization options:
- 3D joint orientations/rotations can now be viewed without relying on Unity/Unreal Engine
- real-world user height estimation based on user segmentation
- user contour derived from the depth stream can now be overlaid on the RGB stream, helping to ensure correct stream registration
- API & Versioning:
- Nuitrack Runtime and SDK versions were combined into a single unified version number (Calendar Versioning)
- major simplification/repackaging of native C/C++ interfaces for increased stability across
all packages (Python, Unity, Unreal Engine, etc.) - support for the new TouchDesigner package and the Creative Bundle license
While we recommend basing future development on this version,
it includes breaking changes, so depending on
- the specific development package used
- and your integration/distribution model
rebuilding your application and additional testing may be required.
