hi! been a few months - any update on augmented image support in instant preview?

[lorenaweder]

I'd also like to know if there's an update on the augmented image support. Any news? Removing this feature (because this used to be a feature in older versions of the sdk, at least in 1.2 for sure) made the workflow much slower.
