Vuforia on the Meta Quest

[A-Ivan]

With Meta now offering camera access on the Quest 3(S) headsets with Unity, can developers use Vuforia on the Quest? If not, are there any plans to allow Vuforia to run on the Quest like it does on desktop, mobile, and other AR headsets?

Thank you.

Thanks @A-Ivan we are aware of the new camera API. The Vuforia product team is evaluating the opportunity of supporting these devices.

Thanks @ptc-emaggio, this is good to hear. I hope you guys support it and also the upcoming AndroidXR based headsets that will come out, since this OS will also provide developers with camera access. I've used Vuforia on the Hololens 2 in past projects and one of the reasons holding me back from migrating to the newer headsets for AR uses is the lack of Vuforia support.

On a similar note, is Vuforia available for the Apple Vision Pro for enterprise applications, as it also provides camera access to those developers? If not, is there a plan for that device as well?

Thank you.

@A-Ivan at the moment Vuforia is not available on Apple Vision Pro. Similarly to Quest devices there are open discussions on supporting this platform as well but no firm timeline.

@ptc-emaggio, that's unfortunate to hear, but thank you for the information. I hope these devices receive support in the future.

Hi @ptc-emaggio. Also very interested in using Vuforia on Quest 3 with the new camera API. Is there anywere I can follow the discussions on supporting this platform?

Thanks @mdarvanaghi at the moment we have no firm plans to officially support the Meta Quest. However, we are aware of third party attempts to integrate Vuforia Engine via the Driver Framework. Technically this should be possible but requires more work than the standard Vuforia development workflow.

Thanks @ptc-emaggio. I will have a look. Crossing my fingers that there will be official support in the future 🤞

I also hope to add support for Meta Quest 3 or Pico 4u, Hololens2 is too old

@ptc-emaggio is there a roadmap of devices supported in the future?

[ptc-emaggio]

Hi @AlexMarent thanks for the enquiry. Regarding support for future devices, we will keep on supporting new devices on iOS, Android and Windows UWP. We do not plan to extend support to new platforms, or to devices requiring integration of new camera APIs like the Meta Quest.

Hey folks! I have started a project for integrating Vuforia + Quest. I made Image Target work and next I am working on Model Taget. You can check the progress here maybe it is useful https://github.com/danieloquelis/Unity-QuestVuforia
