Device Tracker

By patrickfrei on Mon, 08/05/2019 - 13:45

Hey Guys!

I am currently workin on an iPad-application where you can use the Device to look around in 6DOF in a 100% 3D-Scene. I guess Vuforias (Positional) Device Tracking could handle this. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything that helps me in this respect - not even in the Vuforia-Developer-Library - and I have no clue how to do this.

Is there any way (and how?!) to use the camera of the device for Inside-Out-Tracking, without rendering the camera image, but only displaying the content of the scene? It would be greate, if you could help me guys!

Hi,

Yes, you can disable video background rendering here: ARCamera->Open Vuforia Engine configuration->Video Background->Enable video background (uncheck).

Thank you.

Ah, great!
Is there a way to do this from script, in case that I want to use the rendered Camera Image in another Scene?
I found out, that it also works to switch the Background Type of the Camera from Solid Color to Skybox.

Hi,

Yes, you have in our Unity API docs the bool VideoBackgroundEnabled, by toggling it on and off it should enable/disable the video background rendering.
