I Ran Out of Area Targets	Resolution
When I signed up for my Vuforia Engine Developer Account, I got 20 Area Targets, but now I’m out.	As a Vuforia Studio user, you have unlimited Area Targets, but your initial Vuforia Engine Developer account is equipped with 20 to start. You will need to open a Technical Support case to generate more than 20 Area Targets.

My Area Target Isn’t Tracking Correctly

Resolution

My Area Target isn’t tracking very well.

Here are a few things you can do to improve tracking with your Area Target:

• Avoid plain colored surfaces and highly transparent or reflective objects (for example, an all-white desk). If possible, use surfaces or areas with saliency, interesting features, and texture.

• A well lit area will perform better.

• Step a bit away from the scene and get more visual features in view to achieve first recognition and/or resume accurate tracking faster.
