DepthAPI support for devices without depth cameras? #728

Closed b29b closed 4 years ago

b29b commented 4 years ago

SPECIFIC ISSUE ENCOUNTERED

DepthAPI not supported. "While depth sensors, such as time-of-flight (ToF) sensors, are not required for the Depth API to work, having them will further improve the quality of experiences" - from blog

VERSIONS USED

Unity: 2019.3
ARCore SDK for Unity: 1.18
Device manufacturer, model, and O/S: Xiaomi mi9 android 29
ARCore: 1.18

will all devices which support arcore get to use depth api someday?

devbridie commented 4 years ago

Computing depth information for devices with just a RGB sensor is computationally intensive. There currently aren't any plans to support all devices for Depth API due to device resource constraints.
