I am not able to use the Mixed Reality Capture feature in the Windows Device Portal when running my Unity 5.5 app that uses Vuforia 6.1.17. The video player displays an error
"Error:Unsupported video type or invalid file path"
Is anyone else able to use the Mixed Reality Capture feature while running the Vuforia library? Is there any other way of streaming the output of a Hololens application using Vuforia?
Thanks
Hello,
The instructions below are for HoloLens device running RS1:
Based upon experiments with HoloLens while running Vuforia, here is what we know about the Mixed Reality Capture (MRC) feature:
The limitations above are related to real-time camera access for apps running on the HoloLens. In order to guarantee optimal detection and tracking performance, Vuforia is granted sole access to the live camera feed. This is similar to other platforms that we support, such as Android and iOS. You can see that it also works the other way around for apps that do not run Vuforia. The Live preview app requires real-time camera access, so while it is running Vuforia is blocked from accessing the camera.
The instructions below are for HoloLens device running RS4:
Based upon experiments with HoloLens while running Vuforia, here is what we know about the Mixed Reality Capture (MRC) feature:
We've had mixed success with these steps in RS4, with results in that it works every time to it works once in a while.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Vuforia Engine Support
