Vuforia on an nvidia Shield TV with Unity

By ngc6543 on Tue, 04/04/2017 - 08:24

Hi, I'm trying to use vuforia on an nvidia Shield TV with Unity.

The project works fine on iOS, but on a Shield TV vuforia fails to initialize.

So I made a test apk that uses webcam without vuforia, and it successfully got the webcam image. So Shield TV does have an access to webcams.

I'm using vuforia 6.2 on a Unity 5.6.0f3, macOS Sierra 10.12.4

Shield TV p2897, Ver. 7.0 Nougat.

Can anyone give an advice or direction?

Hello,

Vuforia will only run on embedded cameras for supported devices. Webcams will only function when running the Play Mode feature in Unity.

Thanks.

Yay it worked!!

It turned out that the android manifest file was wrong.

I'm using vuforia with GoogleVR and in the process of merging I'd made some mistakes.

NVIDIA SHIELD TV can run Vuforia guys!!
