Use a remote camera

By labinnora on Tue, 03/22/2016 - 16:27

Hi,

I am beginning with Vuforia on Android Studio.

I would like to compute AR with Vuforia, but not on the camera of the device my app will be deployed on. I would like to use a remote camera.

I successfully send my remote camera stream, and I get a GlSurfaceView from the remote camera, and I also get its projection matrix. But still, I have no clue how to correctly put them as an input for Vuforia, in order to make my AR on it.

Is it even possible ?

Thank you for your help =)

 

Vuforia does not have the capability to injest a remote image/video feed and compute a pose.

If the remote device (with integrated camera) had Vuforia running on it, then Vuforia could provide a pose which could be transmitted to the local device.

Anybody come up with a solution for this? I'm trying to do the same thing with Vuforia using a Hololens.
