Dark camera feed on android

By rmoussouni on Mon, 05/11/2015 - 21:30

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's a new problem or simply the same as some people experience ( the black screen ). Anyway, I tried some of the fixes but none give results. Now I started to think maybe it's something new.

I attached a screenshot.

As you can see in the pic (dont mind the red rectangle), the screen is bright enough but everything else is very dark. so dark that image-targets cant be tracked. I tried to show the same target the desktop screen and it work fine (bright enough).

situation 1 : UnityEditor + webcam = brightness fine

situation 2 : Built for nexus 5 = too dark

situation 3 : using the camera for taking simpe pictures = brightness fine

So the main question, is it somehting new? And Hope I am not the only one :)

 

thank you guys

Ross

Hi,

Did you manage to get a fix to this dark screen issue? I seem to be facing the same on most Samsung devices where the native camera screen is bright; however, the vuforia camera is dark.

Any help as to how you went about solving this issue if you did would be great.

We believe that we've identified the issue and are working to provide an SDK patch release in the near future to resolve.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Hello,

A fix for this issue was included in our Android 6.2.10 patch release: https://developer.vuforia.com/downloads/sdk

Thanks


 

Not fixed  on Samsung TAB S2 running Android 6.01, using the Vuforia Unity 6.2-10 plugin.

This is a showstopper for an app I am developing. Does anyone have a solution?

Hello, 

Not fixed on Ulefone Power running Android 6.0, using the Vuforia Unity 6.2-10 plugin.

Does anyone have a solution?

 

 

Hello,

We finally received a Ulefone Power running Android 6.0. I was not able to replicate the dark camera preview as observed by others.

The camera preview when running the Vuforia 6.2.10 sample app looks to be exactly the same as the native camera.
