New features and enhancements

Front face culling. HOOPS Visualize 2022 now includes a front face culling mechanism which provides additional control to selectively expose internal geometric features.

Metal-compliant driver. Support for the Metal graphics driver is now provided to give customers an alternative to OpenGL on Apple platforms.

OpenGL driver deprecated. OpenGL on Apple platforms is planned to be deprecated in HPS 2022 SP2.

ARKit support. ARKit, Apple’s augmented reality platform for iOS, is now supported.

Initialization function. A new static function, HPS::World::IsInitialized(), is now available. The function is used to query whether the HOOPS Visualize system has been initialized.

Text metrics. A new set of functions related to text metrics has been added, which can be used to determine the overall size of text, including ascenders and descenders. See HPS::KeyPath::ComputeTextMetrics and HPS::TextMetrics::Options for details.

Functional changes
