Developing for Vuzix M400 with Unity

Hello,

Currently we have a project for Android that we can make drawings on the world using device camera. It works fine on most of phones but when we run the build in Vuzix M400, the drawings arenot being placed on the world. For example when I draw a heart shape on the corner of the table in my Android phone, it stays on the corner of the table. But when I do the same drawing on the same place while using Vuzix M400, drawing is not on the table, it moves with the camera. We think that Vuzix M400 is not supporting device tracking but we are not sure and we could not find the answer. If so, which HMD device/AR Glass -like M400- would you reccomend to use in order to use it with a Vuforia project.

Hey there,

 

Your assumptions are correct. The Vuzix and RealWear devices both do not support device poses and that's probably why your drawings do not stick in the virtual space. I assume that the Magic Leap or Hololens 2 are devices that would fit your use-case. 

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your assistance and guidance.
