Vuforia Instruct Is Now Vuforia Expert Capture

The decision to consolidate Expert Capture and Instruct is based on our customers’ feedback to integrate both tools and make it easier to create visual guides and capture expert knowledge all in one solution.

With the consolidation, our customers get access to additional advanced capabilities in one collaborative solution. All the features that customers have today in Expert Capture or Instruct will be available in Expert Capture as of May 18, 2023. Users will work with the same editor to create AR and use the same app as before to view their content.

The consolidation of Expert Capture and Instruct is planned for May 18, 2023. On the release day, customers who have active licenses for Expert Capture, Instruct, or both products, will have access to all features, including Step Check via Vuforia Editor, Vuforia Capture, and Vuforia Vantage applications.

Our Customer Success and Solution Provider Partner teams will work with existing customers to determine when we enable the new features in the coming weeks. If a customer is interested in the new features immediately, the customer may reach out to their Customer Success Manager or Partner team.

The additional capabilities, including the new Step Check feature, are available on May 18, 2023. They can be unlocked in the software. You can work with Expert Capture just as before. Expert Capture and Instruct use the same user interface, which makes it easy for users.

Instruct enables customers to build AR instructions in an easy-to-learn SaaS environment using 3D and CAD data. Expert Capture allows customers to use captured instructions and Instruct’s 3D instructions together. You can also continue using Expert Capture’s capabilities to capture and share tacit knowledge.

Step Check’s visual inspection automatically compares the real object with existing documentation. The accurate recognition of the physical object (product, equipment, parts) requires CAD data and information about what will be checked. Our experts can show you how to build a quality check with Step Check in Expert Capture.

Step Check is a visual inspection solution powered by PTC’s artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technology. Step Check makes quality inspections more efficient by improving accuracy and reducing errors.

Step Check will be introduced during our LiveWorx event on May 18, 2023, and included in our Expert Capture offering. All our Expert Capture (and previous Instruct) customers will have access to this powerful inspection solution without any additional charge.

Step Check will be available for purchase starting May 18, 2023, as part of our new Expert Capture offering.
