# Release Notes ## v2.1.0 ### **Face Tracking Lifecycle Callbacks** Monitor face detection state in real-time with new callback APIs. **New APIs:** * `SetFaceFoundCallback(callback)` - Fires when a face is detected * `SetFaceLostCallback(callback)` - Fires when a face is lost * `IsFaceTracked()` - Check if face is currently tracked * `GetFaceTrackingState()` - Get current state ('FOUND' or 'LOST') * `RemoveFaceFoundCallback(callback)` / `RemoveFaceLostCallback(callback)` - Remove callbacks **Usage:** ```javascript WEBARSDK.SetFaceFoundCallback((faceInfo) => { console.log('Face detected!'); showARContent(); }); WEBARSDK.SetFaceLostCallback(() => { console.log('Face lost!'); hideARContent(); }); if (WEBARSDK.IsFaceTracked()) { // Face is currently visible } ``` **Key Features:** * Callbacks fire on state transitions (not every frame) * Built-in debouncing to prevent flickering * Access to face position, rotation, scale, and mouth openness * Late registration support - callbacks fire immediately if face already tracked *** ### **Tracking Status API (Surface & World Tracking)** Query the current tracking state for Surface and World Tracking modes. **New API:** * `GetTrackingStatus()` - Returns current tracking state **Usage:** ```javascript const info = WEBARSDK.GetTrackingStatus(); if (info) { console.log('Status:', info.status); // "Tracking", "Anchoring", etc. console.log('State:', info.state); // 0-3 console.log('Is Tracking:', info.isTracking); // true/false } ``` **Tracking States:** * `0` - Idle * `1` - Anchoring/Initialising * `2` - Tracking (active) * `3` - Relocalising *** ### Bug Fixes & Improvements **Windows Touchscreen Laptop Detection** Fixed device detection for Windows touchscreen laptops (Microsoft Surface Pro, Surface Laptop, etc.). These devices are now correctly identified as desktop devices, preventing unwanted motion sensor permission prompts. **CSS Framework Compatibility (Face Tracking)** Fixed face tracking compatibility with CSS frameworks like Tailwind and Bootstrap. The SDK now properly handles aspect ratio constraints, preventing horizontally stretched faces and improving tracking accuracy. **Gyro Initialization** Improved gyro sensor initialization for more reliable tracking startup. *** ## v2.0.9 ### Key New Features #### **1. Seamless Surface/Marker ➡️ Gyro Transition** This release introduces the ability to seamlessly transition from Surface or Marker Tracking to Gyro Tracking using the new `EnableGyroMode()` API. This ensures experiences can continue using device orientation when specific tracking is no longer required. * **Manual Handover:** Developers can programmatically trigger the transition to Gyro tracking using `WEBARSDK.EnableGyroMode()`. * **Flexible Control:** Ideal for scenarios where the user moves away from the marker or surface after initial content placement. #### **2. Front Camera Marker Tracking** Developers can now enable marker tracking using the front-facing camera, unlocking new selfie-style marker experiences. * **Usage:** Add the `enable-front-camera-for-marker-tracking` attribute to your configuration. #### **3. Advanced Cursor API & Customization** A new globally accessible Cursor API provides full control over the Surface & World Tracking cursor, allowing for deep customization and state management. * **Access Point:** `WEBARSDK.GetCursorAPI()` * **State Introspection:** * `isTapReady()`: Checks if the surface is locked and ready for placement. * `isVisible()`: Returns current visibility state. * `isCustomCursor()`: Checks if a custom cursor is in use. * `getOpacity()`: Returns current opacity level. * **Control:** * `setVisible(visible)`: Toggle cursor visibility. * `setOpacity(opacity)`: Adjust cursor transparency. * **Event Handling:** * `onTapReady(callback)`: Triggered when a valid surface is detected. * `onTapNotReady(callback)`: Triggered when tracking is lost or searching. * **Material Customization (Default Cursor):** * `materials.setRingColor(color)` / `materials.setDotColor(color)`: Customize specific elements. * `materials.setColors(ringColor, dotColor)`: Set both colors simultaneously. * **Custom Cursor Entity:** * New `customCursor` property in `webar-ux-control` allows using any A-Frame entity as the cursor. * **Direct Access:** * `entity`: Direct reference to the A-Frame cursor entity for low-level manipulation. * `debug()`: Logs internal state and configuration to the console. #### **4. Privacy Enhancements (IP Anonymization)** To better align with privacy regulations and user preferences, we have added an option to anonymize IP addresses in analytics. * **Usage:** Add `anonymize-ip-addresses="true"` to your SDK script tag. #### **5. Manual Gyro Mode Control** A new API allows developers to manually switch the experience to Gyro mode, effectively disabling SLAM tracking and relying solely on device orientation. This applies to both **Surface Tracking** and **Marker Tracking**. * **Usage:** `WEBARSDK.EnableGyroMode()` * **Example:** ```javascript // Give a callback when the WebAR Marker is ready to track the marker image WEBARSDK.SetMarkerDetectedCallback((markerId) => { console.info('Marker is detected for marker id: ', markerId); // Switch to gyro mode after 7 seconds setTimeout(() => { WEBARSDK.EnableGyroMode(); }, 7000); }); ``` ### Performance & Stability * **60 FPS Support:** WebAR experiences can now run smoothly at up to 60 FPS on supported devices. * **Instant Tracking:** AR content appears instantly when the camera is opened. * **Gyro-Fusion & Pose Smoothing:** Significant reduction in jitter and elimination of the AR "leaning" effect for improved orientation accuracy. * **Pure Gyro Rotation:** Replaces SLAM-based rotation with pure gyro data for cleaner camera movement. * **Dynamic Ground Plane Alignment:** Prevents AR content from floating above or below the real-world surface. ### Developer Experience & UX Improvements * **Enhanced Error Dialogs:** A completely redesigned error dialog experience featuring a "Copy Link" button, improved readability, and better visual hierarchy for troubleshooting. * **Mirroring Control:** New `disable-mirroring` attribute to turn off video mirroring for Face and Marker tracking modes. * **Camera Orientation:** New `disable-ar-facing-camera` attribute allows opt-out of the default behavior where content always faces the user. * **Windows Surface Support:** Added hardware compatibility for Windows Surface tablets. * **Viewport Meta Tag:** Recommended for optimal layout and AR stability on mobile devices (see Best Practices below). ### Bug Fixes & Compatibility * **Safari iOS 26+ Liquid Glass Fix:** Resolved an issue where the address bar caused viewport shrinking and transparency on newer iOS versions. * **SLAM Camera Hierarchy:** Entities placed under `` now correctly follow camera movement in SLAM mode, matching ECS behavior. * **Cross-Browser Text Rendering:** Fixed text wrapping and consistency issues across different browsers. * **Android Surface Tracking:** Fixed an issue where the 3D cursor failed to appear on page reloads. * **Marker Tracking Stability:** Enhanced detection reliability and stability. *** ### Best Practices & Examples **Recommended Viewport Meta Tag:** For optimal layout, AR stability, and to prevent accidental zooming, we recommend the following viewport configuration: ```html ``` **Enabling IP Anonymization:** ```html ``` **Using the Cursor API:** ```javascript WEBARSDK.SetStageReadyCallback(() => { const cursor = WEBARSDK.GetCursorAPI(); if (cursor) { // Debug current state cursor.debug(); // Customize appearance cursor.setOpacity(0.8); if (!cursor.isCustomCursor()) { cursor.materials.setColors('#00ff00', '#ff00ff'); // Ring green, Dot magenta } // Handle events cursor.onTapReady(() => console.log('✅ Surface locked – tap to place!')); cursor.onTapNotReady(() => console.log('❌ Move device to find a surface')); } }); ``` ## v2.0.8 ### New Features #### External Camera Stream Support * SDK now supports external camera streams. * Introduced external-camera-stream configuration option. * API method for setting the camera stream\[See [API reference](https://docs.blippar.com/webar-sdk/api/api-ref-1.5.3) for more details]: ``` WEBARSDK.SetCameraStream(yourVideoStream);
