Original release notes

YARD has been rebuilt from the ground up to deliver the most powerful AR design experience for landscape and pool professionals.

All-New Interface
Completely redesigned for speed and clarity. Intuitive controls, cleaner layouts, and faster access to the tools you use most.

Next-Generation Rendering
Stunning visual quality with enhanced materials, realistic lighting, and improved shadow rendering. Your designs look better than ever in AR.

Depth Sensing
Accurate terrain mapping uses LiDAR to place designs perfectly on slopes, hills, and complex grade changes.

Object Occlusion
Virtual designs intelligently interact with real-world objects. Walk behind existing trees, fences, or structures and see your design respond naturally.

Solid Tracking
Enhanced AR tracking keeps your design locked in place, even as you walk around the entire property.

Updated Library
Instant access to the latest design elements, materials, and plantings from your VizTerra, Pool Studio, or VIP3D library.
