Vuforia Camera Max Resolution

By mbrosurg on Mon, 02/03/2020 - 18:40

Hi, apologies if this question has been answered, but I haven't been able to find one.

I am having trouble understanding the device camera resolution limitations when using the Vuforia camera game object.  The max resolution I can get is 1280x720 on a 6th-gen iPad (2019, iOS 13) using Vuforia 8.6.X and Unity 2019.3.0f1.  The native video resolution of the camera on the iPad is 1680x1050 from what I can tell, and the screen resolution is 2048x1536.  Additionally, when I use the Unity ARCamera I get a larger camera resolution than the Vuforia Camera.  

My question is, how do I increase the resolution of the vuforia camera?  What is even happening behind the scenes to crop the native video output so much?

 

Thanks!

Mark
