WebAR SDK v1.7.3

What’s New:

Enhanced UX for PlayCanvas Surface Tracking: We have introduced a new and improved user experience for PlayCanvas Surface tracking, streamlining and enhancing user interactions.
Lazy-Mode Support for Face Tracking: This update brings lazy-mode support, optimizing face tracking for efficiency and performance.
WEBARSDK.EnableTrackingOnDesktop() Function: A new function to enable desktop-only tracking specifically for face tracking. This is particularly useful in scenarios like BB, where the app initially starts in lazy-mode and subsequently determines the appropriate tracking mode.
webar-face-pivot AFrame Attribute: A new attribute that allows an entity to move in sync with the user’s head movements, without rotating with the head. This enhances the realism and interactivity of AR experiences.
webar-raycaster AFrame Attribute: A specialized attribute for improved AR interaction in face-tracking mode. Developers can now use el.addEventListener('click', (evt) => {}) to receive raycast events. This attribute replaces AFrame’s native raycaster and cursor attributes in face tracking mode, addressing compatibility issues with AFrame’s built-in raycaster component in face-tracking scenarios. Our custom raycaster component ensures better performance and reliability.

WebAR SDK v1.7.1-r1

What’s New:

Added time-based linear interpolation for Gyroscope Data.
Fixed a rotation issue where, in the absence of ‘webar-ux-control’ or when the stage cursor is disabled by the user, AR objects would rotate with the camera movement.

WebAR SDK v1.7.1

What’s Changed

New UX for Surface Tracking: Added a ‘safe zone’ that appears once SLAM anchors, allowing users to place objects anywhere using the cursor. Just tap on the screen to place an object.
Interactive Animations & Cues: Introduced animations and visual cues to further enhance the user experience during interaction.

Pinch to Zoom: Implemented pinch-to-zoom functionality to allow users to zoom in and out for a better model viewing experience.
Swipe to Rotate: Added the ability to rotate the model by swiping, making it easier to adjust the model’s orientation.

New APIs:
- SetARModelPlaceCallback(callback): Assigns a callback to execute after an AR model is placed within the scene, enabling custom post-placement interactions.
- SetResetButtonCallback(callback): Links a custom callback to the reset button’s action for customized reset logic. Requires webar-ux-control with stageCursorUX: true.
- SetResetButtonVisibility(isVisible): Controls the reset button’s visibility within the AR interface, allowing for UI customization.

rotation-speed: Controls the sensitivity of the AR object’s rotation in response to user gestures. Accepts values greater than 0 and less than 1.
gesture-scale-max: Sets the maximum scale factor for enlarging an AR object using pinch gestures.
gesture-scale-min: Sets the minimum scale factor for reducing an AR object’s size in a single pinch gesture.
hide-reset-button: Optionally hides the reset button from the UI, active only when webar-ux-control with stageCursorUX: true is configured.

Dependency on webar-ux-control: All new functionalities—including callbacks, visibility controls, and interactive attributes—require a properly configured webar-ux-control. This is essential for activating the full range of UX and interactive features in both A-Frame and Babylon.js environments.
