Front Facing Camera (AR) Support #80

Open tsoen opened 9 months ago

tsoen commented 9 months ago

Describe your feature Hello, Using Vuforia 10.19 on Unity. We would like to be able to open the front camera on Android and Windows (UWP) tablets from the Vuforia API, even if that means having no AR feature available.

Use-case description Useful for video-conference apps where some users want to use the AR features with the back camera, while some users only want to show their face with the front camera.

Business impact Quality of life for development. Missing feature when migrating from Wikitude to Vuforia.

Workaround Probably have to switch between Vuforia for back camera and WebcamTexture for front camera, which is more difficult to maintain.

Hi there, thank you for sharing the feedback! There are no short-term plans for allowing access to the front facing camera, but this can change at any point. The workarounds that I see are using the WebcamTexture as you noted, or writing your own Vuforia Driver.
