Using geolocation as the marker

By ayazalavi on Wed, 01/09/2013 - 06:31

Hi,

Instead of image as the marker I want to use geolocation as the marker so that when I point in particualr direction then model appears at particualr lat long instead of over the image. Any idea how may I acheive this using Unity Qualcomm AR plugin?

Thanks

Hi, Vuforia (Qualcomm AR) does not support this feature; to do that you need to use the device sensors such as GPS and orentation sensor; note that this may not be very accurate.

 

I'm working on something similar. To be able to add geo-referenced objects based on the users location, you need to make calls to SensorManager.getRotationMatrix and SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem in Android SDK, since Vuforia SDK doesn't support it yet.
