Bug Fixes:
  • Remove the android:process=":space" tag from the AndroidManifest.xml.
NRSDK for Unity 2.2.0
Release Note
What's New:

    • Added a new Loader mode in the SDK. In this mode, the SDK libraries are loaded from the server (Nebula), significantly reducing the APK size. Furthermore, if there are no updates in Unity, the app can leverage the latest Nebula version to access new AR features without needing to re-import the SDK for updates.
  • Dual Screen Display
    • Added dual-screen display mode. This mode allows for different displays on the main screen (phone) and the secondary screen (glasses). When the AR app is sent to the background, the glasses continue to display the AR application, while the phone screen can show any 2D app.
  • Hand Tracking
    • Added recognition of the thumbs-up gesture to Hand Tracking.
  • No longer support 32 bit application from this version.

  • Meshing
    • The process of generating mesh has been optimized for greater speed and accuracy, enhancing the overall development experience.
    • Introduced semantic labeling to our meshing feature, now capable of identifying and classifying mesh segments into 10 distinct categories: BACKGROUND, WALL, BUILDING, FLOOR, CEILING, HIGHWAY, SIDEWALK, GRASS, DOOR, and TABLE.
  • Spatial Anchor
    • The addition of the anchor creation workflow enhances the visual appeal and user-friendliness of the system. This improvement allows for instant visual feedback, making the process of constructing reliable anchors more efficient and effective.
    • Boosted the success rate of anchor detection and re-localization for a more stable AR experience.
Bug Fixes:
  • Stability Issue with Ray Position in Hand Tracking Demo. Resolved an issue where the ray would deviate during the grab gesture simulation, ensuring consistent positioning throughout.
Known Issues:
  • In the grab gesture execution, the system may first incorrectly recognize a pinch before identifying it as a grab.
  • Under certain angles, performing pinch and grab gestures may cause the hand model to disappear.
