what's the best way to set the initial orientattion of the ARCamera?

July 11, 2018 - 3:37pm #1

unity 2018.1, vuforia 7.2

 

what's the best way to set the initial orientation of the ARCamera? I need to orientate the camera relatively to the compass (since I am displaying real world assets). Currently I have a2 cameras: the ARCamera to render the video plus an extra camera to render the assets. Every update, I give the asset camera the same rotation as the ARCamera plus I apply the initial heading that I read from the compass when the session started.

Is this the recommended way?

As a side note, although this feature is not present in ARCore (unless I just missed it), ARKit has it in the GravityAndHeading run session configuration...

I just want the ARCamera to match the compass/true heading of the user. So I am looking at how to handle this with Vuforia since the rotation of the ARCamera is reset to zero when vuforia starts.

It's hard to piece out exactly what you need, but setting the World Center mode to Camera and then rotating the 3d world might be an option for you.
