Google led me to a couple of posts from back in 2014-2016 and the general consensus was that Vuforia did not support Zoom in functionality. Have any changes been made with regards to that?
If not anyone got any nifty solutions (other than walking closer to the target/making target bigger)?
Hi,
I wouldn't say we do not support zoom as a functionality, it is more the conditions that come up due to a zoomed image.
Usually a zoomed image means lower quality, camera shake and other intrinsic data sent from the camera as focal length. In an image without zoom, normal image, Vuforia gets all the information but in a zoomed image some data, conditions might not be as expected.
In an ideal zoomed setup, with good picture quality, no camera shake and having all the other above mentioned data, it might work. Unfortunately we are talking about an ideal setup which is not easily reproducible in real life, hence we do not recommend using the zoom functionality as results are not consistent.
Thank you.
