In step 3 where do I find the Vuforia :: init () statement?

In point 4.b can the code be added in a script linked to any object in the Unity project?

I copied the mainTemplate.gradle file into Assets / Plugins / Android and modified it as indicated in points 1 and 2, then adding:

Please help me. How can I analyze video frames from an external USB camera connected to an Android device via USB?

Hi Metal90, I'm currently facing the same issue as you are here. I'm confused as to how to proceed with "Using UVC Camera Driver". Where do I have to put the libraries, "libUVCDriver.so, libuvc, libusb, libjpeg-turbo and UVCDriver.jar" ?
