Vuforia Engine Features and Functionality for AR App Development

Wondering how to develop AR content? Vuforia Engine gives you a wide variety of targets, tools, and platforms to make your experiences come to life. 

Vuforia Engine features

No matter where you want your AR experience to show up, Vuforia Engine has the technology to help you make it happen. Check out our array of powerful target types that will make your applications come to life.

Model targets

Model Targets recognize real-world objects by using digital 3D models. Create augmentations anchored to the object to display IoT data, instructions, guidance, and more.

Area targets

Area Targets utilize 3D scans of a location and are designed for experiences in large spaces. Create augmentations anchored to the real-world environment for navigation and maintenance.

Barcode Scanner

Read barcodes and QR codes to launch experiences, load content, or start AR navigation.

Image targets

Image Targets are the simplest way to create augmentations anchored to flat images such as magazine pages, trading cards, and photographs.

Multi targets

Multi Targets are for box-shaped objects that have flat surfaces and multiple sides. Product packaging, cereal boxes, and textured cubes make great Multi Targets.

Cylinder targets

Cylinder Targets enable you to place AR content on cylindrical objects like soda cans, wine bottles, and tubes with printed designs.

VuMarks

VuMarks are specially-designed images with embedded information that can identify and launch experiences and also function as anchors to AR content.

External camera

Access video sources outside of phones, tablets, or AR glasses with external camera.
