The Vuforia Spatial Toolbox, as well as the Vuforia Spatial Edge Server, comprise a shared research platform for the exploration of spatial computing.
COVID-19 has us all at a standstill and confined to our homes. The world is in a state of lockdown, and people have to work from home. In such a scary scenario, innovations and novelties are bound to happen. The Vuforia Spatial Toolbox is one such cutting-edge technology that is adapted to the home office during the ongoing pandemic.
This toolbox is essentially an add-on of a basic hardware interface. It enables the users to connect the Edge Server of Vuforia with their Arduino projects, the Lego Wedo 2.0 set and Lego Boost of your kids as well as the Philips Hue Lighting System that is present in your living room.
Using the Vuforia Spatial Toolbox can be quite beneficial for people who are currently working from home. You can easily attach Spatial tools to the objects that are tracked by the Vuforia Engine. In addition to that, it allows users to program physical machines spatially with the use of supported platforms such as Kepware. What’s more, the Vuforia Spatial Toolbox even allows the users to generate their own 2D as well as 3D Spatial tools that they can place in their environment.
Vuforia Spatial Toolbox is a creation of the PTC Reality Lab. This open-source prototyping environment enables developers across the globe to accelerate the development of Augmented Reality and the Industrial Internet of Things. It also helps in speeding up the development of spatial computing prototypes in addition to advancing the capabilities of spatial AR in real-time.
This platform offers developers an ideal solution for the development of tools that allow on-the-spot programming of robots and complex machines in a spatial context. The Vuforia Engine and ThingWorx Kepware Server are two additional products of PTC.
The app of the Vuforia Spatial Toolbox can easily be downloaded from the App Store. Moreover, the Spatial Edge Server can be accessed via GitHub, which is an open-source code publishing and sharing service.
