Hi,
this happens in 4.2.3 but also in the 3 version.
Reproduce on a Asus Google Nexus 7 in Unity:
- setup arcamera (+ framemarker but that part doesnt even matter)
- add cube as child of ARcamera, exactly in front of ARcamera, exactly in center of ARcamera, eg (0,0, 5)
- press play in Editor -> screen is rendered with cube in center of screen as expected
- build for android device CAMERA_FRONT -> screen is rendered with cube in center of screen as expected, but I see myself which is scary
- build for android device CAMERA_BACK -> screen is rendered with cube of center, eg top of cube touches device screen top, but on the bottom there is space left (like couple of millimeters, but that of course depends on cube size). If you rotate the device 180, everything rotates ok, but now the space is at the top.
In other words the ARcamera (0,0,0) does not seem to be at (visible_screen.width/2, visible_screen.height/2), and neither at (screen.width/2, screen.height/2)
I need to position objects exactly in front of the camera, aligned with screen edges, and everything works, except for this little 'feature'...
THanks in advance,
sorv

Camera off center !
On some devices the camera projection matrix coming from the device profile is not centered.
To find a position in the center of the view frustum, you can shoot a ray from the center of the camera rect against a plane at the depth you need;
