KNOWN ISSUES

Below you will find a list of known issues. These issues are defined as bugs, or at times missing features, that is known to the development team and are being actively investigated or developed.

  • Collision Detection creates false positive results depending on point of view – The visualization of intersections between virtual hands and the holograms of objects could create some false positive depending on the perspective of the point of view and, occasionally, when the virtual hands are just behind the hologram of the object but not “touching” it. The current status of the functionality is for review purpose only. It is not supposed to be considered accurate for physical collision detection.
  • Save position in space of opened Application menus for HL3D files (AR 3S Space) – AR 3S Spaces saved as HL3D files storing the positioning of opened menus can only be properly realigned via the "Realign Origin" feature. During meetings in Local Network mode or Cloud mode users receiving an AR 3S Space that includes opened menus (shared by the Host of the meeting) will be presented with the same menu setup that was stored inside the file. Once the loading is completed, the Guest user will be able to freely rearrange the menu setup.
  • "Hand Pose" Captures are not synchronized between users in Multi-User sessions – Saving AR 3S Space files storing captured "Hand Poses" and sharing them during Multi-User sessions allows for displaying "Hand Poses" saved in the Space file. Newly captured poses or deleted poses, however, are not synchronized between the users attending the session.
