What's new in version 5.1

The most significant updates in this release include:

Added

  • Added button to the XR Environment overlay that when toggled on, the Scene view displays the XR Environment view. When toggled off, the Scene View displays the active editing context.
  • Added Camera Configuration menu to the ARDebugMenu.
  • Added support for the Environment Probes feature in XR Simulation. You can now add and remove environment probes in Play mode, add a Simulated Environment Probe component to XR Simulation environments, and adjust environment probe discovery settings in XR Simulation project settings.
  • Added support for Anchors in XR Simulation.
  • Added the ability for camera subsystem providers to include EXIF data with the XRCameraFrame.
  • Added a set of custom visual scripting nodes to help you use AR Foundation in visual scripting projects.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where SimulationPlaneSubsystem would not respect the currently set PlaneDetectionMode, detecting updates only from planes that match the current mode.
