Hi,
Just wondering how I can flick cameras when running the app ? I am using Unity4 iOS & Vuforia2.0
I read that its now posible in Ver 2.0 to change cameras from rear to front... yes ?.. So I'd like to be able to test this new abitliy.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Click on the AR Camera and go to the Inspector and under QCAR Behaviour Script look for the Camera Direction dropdown.
You will also find a Mirroring option as well, though currently this is inverting the image - something we are investigating at present.

Awesome... I'll play wiht this tinight after I get home :)
Perhaps there's a way to simply flip the camera before it's reversed ?
Look forward to the update :)

Hi Mick,
There is no plan for any update here as behaviour is as expected and consistent across Android.
See this thread for more details:

In a nutshell:

Hi,
OK I've hooked up an iPhone5 via HDMI to a Sony Smart TV.
I used a lightning to HDMI cable that also allows the phone to be powered at the same time... cool

Sounds good - thanks for sharing!
When you have time it would be great to see a video of this in action - great use case.
