Hi Developers!

We’re excited to announce a major new release of the EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin and Mega Studio! This update redefines the Mega development workflow, optimizes the editor experience, unifies functional logic, and streamlines redundant capabilities. Additionally, multiple Unity compatibility issues have been resolved, delivering a cleaner, more stable, and highly efficient AR development experience!

EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin 4003.0.0

🚀 All-New Mega Development Workflow

• ✨ Mega functional APIs and development workflows are now more closely aligned with traditional AR features like Image Tracking.
