Hi, I've noticed that when i'm loading content for a UIWebview i notice a serious drop in the frame rate of the camera. the request is performed on the web thread. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks, Inja

[QUOTE=Inja]Hi, I've noticed that when i'm loading content for a UIWebview i notice a serious drop in the frame rate of the camera.[/QUOTE] Hi Inja, As QCAR won't be doing anything put keeping its pipeline running the impact must be from the Web View loading overheads.

Hi, Thanks for your quick answer! I tried this using the ImageTargets example: - create a webview, set it to hidden and add it to the EAGLView - the first time a trackable is identified start loading a url in the web view I still notice the frame rate drop.

[QUOTE=Inja] I still notice the frame rate drop. Do you have any other pointers? [/QUOTE] I suspect you're saturating the processor - the web view may be being redrawn every time the underlying camera/AR frame is redrawn, and that could be expensive.
