5.5.1
July 2, 2026
5.5.1 makes markers easier to create and squashes a batch of bugs: • Capture a Marker with Your Camera (Pro): No printed marker handy? Open the Anchors page, frame any flat object such as a card, label or sticker, and PreviewAR measures its real-world size and adds it to your Anchors library, ready to lock a scene to. • Tidier Settings: A refreshed Settings screen with quicker Close and Add buttons and a cleaner camera and import layout. Frame Rate and Ultra-Wide Angle now sit together in Recording Settings. • USDZ model fixes when Y is Up would sometimes be ignored. • Various other fixes, polish and performance improvements.
