AR application on Windows 7

By omassche on Mon, 11/20/2017 - 14:10

Hi everyone,

I'm running on Windows 7 64bits with Unity 2017 and the latest version of the Vuforia plugin.

When i play my application with Unity, it works perfectly. I have a Logitech webcam (B525 HD).

When my webcam see my image target, i have a cube appearing on the Unity game tab.

I have built the executable file by choosing the platform "PC, Mac and Linux Standalone" on the Unity Built settings window.

But, when i run the .exe file of my application, i have only a black window.

My webcam seems not working.

I have also try to launch the .exe file on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 but i have the same problem.

I have a free version of Unity and Vuforia.

Thank you very much if you can help me.

Bye.

Hello omassche,

Vuforia does not support standalone executables for PC, Mac, and Linus, only for mobile and eyewear devices. The use of webcams with Unity playmode is only supported for testing and debugging purposes.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Vuforia Support

Hello,

Thank you very much for your answer.

Do you propose an other technical solution to develop an AR application for a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 ?

Even if it is not free?

thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Apologies for not including this in my initial response. To deploy to Microsoft Surface Pro devices you'll want to build the app as a UWP/Windows Store app. You'll need to make sure you downloaded Unity's build support for these devices when you installed it.

Hello,

Thank you very much Strasza for your help.

I followed your article to create an AR application for Windows 10 (64bits).

I succeeded in create a Visual Studio project with Unity.

I built an executable file with Visual Studio for a x64 target.

Hello again,

Could you test the steps I describe in my comment on this thread: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity/unity-uwp-license-error#comment-61454 ?

Let me know if you are still encountering issues after trying this.

Thanks,

Vuforia Support

Hello Strasza,

I moved forward but I did not totally succeed:

The application appx now works perfectly on my development PC (on windows 10).

But it doesn't work on my Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

The appx start well, i can see the camera view.

Hello everybody,

Is there anyone who has succeeded to make work an app as a UWP/Windows Store app using Vuforia on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 of course?

Thanks a lot by advance to share your experience.

Best regards.

Hello again,

Can you confirm that you have granted the app both Camera and Internet Client permissions within the UWP Player settings?

Thanks,

Vuforia Support

Hello,

Yes i confirme i have granted the app for Camera, Internet Client and Microphone too in the UWP Player settings.

 

I add that when i started the app for the first time, i allowed the app to access to the camera and the microphone.

It don't ask me about Internet Client.

Thanks.

Hello,

At last it works with Vuforia 7!!

Thanks again for your help.
