What's new in version 2.0

This release includes the following significant changes:

New features

  • Added support for saving anchors, loading anchors, and erasing anchors introduced in AR Foundation 6.0.
  • Added an API for the tracking of 3D bounding boxes with the new Bounding box detection feature added in AR Foundation 6.1. Refer to Bounding boxes for more information.
  • Added support for the Meshing subsystem.

Added

  • Added support for the Asynchronous TryAddAnchor API introduced in AR Foundation 6.
  • Added XRResultStatusExtensions, extending the XRResultStatus type to support conversion to XrResult.
  • Added support for NotAxisAligned plane detection mode introduced in AR Foundation 6.0.
  • Added support for the ARPlane.classifications data type introduced in AR Foundation 6.0, including new classification values and support for planes with multiple classifications.
  • Added explicit dependencies for the XR Plug-in Management and XR Core Utils packages, which were previously implicit.

Changed

  • Changed the minimum AR Foundation dependency version to 6.0.1.
  • Changed the minimum OpenXR Plug-in dependency version to 1.10.0.
  • Changed the minimum version of Unity to 6000.0, as required by AR Foundation 6.0.1.
  • Changed the plane subsystem to no longer attempt to request the Android system permission com.oculus.permission.USE_SCENE on your app's behalf. To use planes or bounding boxes with OpenXR Plug-in version 1.11.0 or newer, your app must request this permission. Refer to Spatial Data Permission (Meta Quest Developer Center) to learn how to request this permission.
  • Changed the behavior of MetaOpenXRSessionSubsystem.sessionId to now return a non-empty, unique Guid value per Meta OpenXR session. You can access the session id using XRSessionSubsystem.sessionId.
  • Changed the way the Android Manifest is written in ModifyAndroidManifestMeta to override OpenXRFeatureBuildHooks virtual functions so that direct XML manipulation is not necessary.
  • Changed the names of the Meta Quest features in the Editor to remove the "AR" prefix.
