Wikitude SDK Vuzix

Migration

Upgrading targets for SDK 6.0 (and later)

The Wikitude SDK 6.0 introduces an updated format for the target collection. The new format improves the recognition phase significantly. The updated format is not backward compatible with Wikitude 5.x (and prior) and can not be used in projects using Wikitude SDK 5.x or prior.

However you can use wtc-4.1 formats with the Wikitude SDK 6.0, although we strongly recommend to updated to the newest (wtc-5.0) version.

To use the new format you need to re-create your target collection in the target manager and download the .wtc file under the Download 6.0 link. Put this .wtc file in your app and replace the previous one.

Upgrading targets for SDK 4.1

The Wikitude SDK 4.1 introduces an updated format for the target collection. The new format improves the recognition phase considerably. The updated format is not backward compatible with Wikitude SDK 3.x, 4.0 and can not be used in projects using Wikitude SDK 3.x or Wikitude SDK 4.0.

However you can use wtc-3.x and wtc-4.0 formats with the Wikitude SDK 4.1, although we strongly recommend to updated to the newest (wtc-4.1) version.

To use the new format you need to re-create your target collection in the target manager and download the .wtc file under the Download 4.1 link. Put this .wtc file in your app and replace the previous one.

Migrating targets from SDK 1.x

If you have been using a dataset from the Qualcomm Vuforia target management, please follow these steps to convert your ARchitect World to the new approach:

1. Create a new project with the Wikitude target management tool and upload your targets (see instructions above)
2. Create a target collection and store it in the same location as the previously used dataset
3. In your ARchitect World, update the AR.ClientTracker initialization to point to the URL of your new target collection
