External camera support

By 4dgames on Mon, 01/17/2022 - 18:36

Hello,

I would like to know if Vuforia suports a specific external camera connected via HDMI capture card such as RunCam or other cams used in RC drones. I see that external cameras are supported (https://library.vuforia.com/platform-support/external-camera) and needed a driver on its own to be written for it, right?

So my question is if its theoretically possible to connect and use any type of external camera if a driver is written for it.

 

Thanks,

Vojtech
