Video Playback

By Harrisa504 on Wed, 02/13/2013 - 16:02

 

I am trying to use the Vuforia Video Playback sample app as the starting point for a university project. What I want to do is develop a small iOS based app that will recognise a target, that I define, and play a video of my choice over the target as per the sample app. I am brand new to Vuforia so I would really appreciate some help and guidance by way of a simple explanation of the following:

  1. Having created my own target dataset using the target manager and downloaded the .xml and .dat files, where do I have to update the sample app code in order for my target to be used rather than the Stones&Chips example?

  2. Once I have my target integrated, what sample app code do I need to modify to invoke my own video (either streamed from the web or stored locally on the iPhone) when my target is detected? As I said, I’m very new to this environment and find I learn best by examples so any help and guidance would be much appreciated…

Hi Harrisa504

Check out this thread as we had another new developer wanting advice as to where to start:

Hi NalinS , 

 

I recently followed the advice that you gave me and managed to create my own targets and download 2 markers within one XML file and DAT file. I then edited the Video Playback sample file by altering the line below:
