Need a solution to the vuforia/MRC problem

By MGuiselinNDC on Thu, 07/27/2017 - 17:54

Many people on the forum here have had issues using Mixed Reality Capture with hololens since apparently they simply can't work together.  We need to be able to demo our app to our ceos, and so far no one has spoken up about their solution to the problem or what they did to solve it.

Question 1: Is it possible to mount a usb camera onto the hololens and have vuforia use that?

Question 2: Has anybody had success using Spectator View (https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2017/02/13/spectator-view-new-tool-help-others-see-see-hololens/) with a vuforia-hololens app?

Question 3: Has anybody gotten MRC to work somehow and if so how?

Thanks in advance for any answers, cause we really need them.

I have answered this previously. Basically what you need to do is enable extended tracking so that once you have tracked your target and are displaying whatever it is you need want to display will be passed over to the Hololens. You can then Stop the vuforia camera instance.
