Vuforia Engine Reviews & Product Details

With Vuforia it is easy to create AR experiences for both marker and markerless AR. When only using the Ground Plane feature (ability to recognize ground in order to place 3d models on it) Vuforia is completely free which is great for Indie developers or personal users that want to experiment with AR.

As soon as the developer wants to implement custom targets which are created on Vuforia's developer platform, a monthly subscription is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The vuforia integration with Unity is very easy to figure out and use. I mostly use it build mobile apps for fun. All of my projects are personal projects. The sole purpose of my projects is to introduce Augment Reality to the people around me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little annoying to add the marker and then download the zip and import it again in Unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consumed service to detect the image target and project information on top of it. Use of virtual button to interact with the plane as an image obstruction to give the feel of immersive experience in an AR Business card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Target detection is not that precise. as you get with ARCore on ARKit as well as anchors need to be fixed manually, which lose track even if the lighting condition is good. The way of importing the database to the project could be changed in the way to help the user to ease this work, maybe like how AWS has pem files. I would like to see Vuforia SDK in a form of API with direct access to the services if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has clear documentation. Easy management service. Supports several types of AR targets. It's easy to add to Unity projects with built-in plugin. Plane target works very well and is very accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price policy is not evident sometimes. Privacy policy is not very clear. I tried to understand the limitation of the developer license for a long time and had to consult with other developers and resources. It is unable to edit existing cylindrical targets. When you try to change dimensions, it requires reloading images again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Unity to develop my AR apps, Vuforia is extremely easy and fast to work with, generating target and importing it in Unity can be done in a couple of minutes and the rest is how good you are in Unity. Overriding the target events is really easy, basically, it is one of the best frameworks to start AR with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The basic plan of Vuforia does not have a lot of features compared to the pro version, but now it will leave a watermark on the camera in the basic plan. This watermark could have not been there, and the difference that would make people pay for the pro version could have been the amazing new features, not to eliminate the watermark.

As Vuforia uses computer vision for image tracking. Creating and tracking of objects is faster and efficient. We also like that Vuforia is platform independent due to the API it provides to the Unity engine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The image tracking and object does not work properly in bad environmental conditions. The markerless image targets sometimes don't detect objects at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Vuforia is marked based, most of the computations required are less so is the time complexity. Vuforia is very handy to integrate with all kinds of operating systems without any missing dependencies. If you are new to developing AR; Vuforia in Unity should be your choice.

Vuforia lacks behind when working on complex task. Placing a 3D object with ease on any surface in any illumination conditions increases complexity which cannot be handled by Vuforia. So, if you want to move towards developing high-end advanced applications then vuforia won't be as much useful as ARCore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about Vuforia are attaching digital content to a specific object. Those objects can be attached using Model Target, Image Target, Multi-Target, Cylinder Target, Object Target, VuMarks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside Vuforia is the fee license fee per app. It cost around 499$ to get the license and also required a printed marker to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vuforia i can say a leading AR sdk and its latest version is too improved and we can also use arkit and arcore features in our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two problem i faced first is migration of old vuforia project into latest vuforia and second is now vuforia is taking too much size in android and ios build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vuforia does a lot of things and they seem to be committed to adding new features all the time. They're 3D object tracking may be the best at the moment, as far as user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a small quibble but they dropped support for the front-facing camera but I think there are many opportunities using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
