camera not opening while creating an window.exe application using Unity3D and Vuforia

Question

Hi

We have used Vuforia and Unity3D and utilized the laptop camera for a small application.

While playing the application in Unity3D, the camera port is opening and it is working accordingly. But while creating an WINDOWS.EXE, the camera port is not opening for the same application.

This is the code I have used:

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI;

public class anglee : MonoBehaviour {

 public Text incl, anti;
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     incl.text="Inclination Angle : "+ Mathf.Round(Camera.main.transform.rotation.z*360f);
     anti.text="Antiversion Angle : "+ Mathf.Round(Camera.main.transform.rotation.x*360f);
 }

}

Sorry for the necropost @contactselvam , but I feel like this is still an issue for the 131 people following, and is a critical point of almost all AR/VR software. As far as I can tell, Vuforia does not support builds to any desktop device (regardless of OS), only devices intended for VR/AR capabilities: https://www.vuforia.com/devices.html

While it may be possible to directly get the camera feed through code, good tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6NXkZWXHnc, I don't think it would be possible to then force that feed through the Vuforia image tracking scripts. I haven't been able to get working that way anyways.

There is a solution that has been made, but it's not free. Thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37912521/how-to-build-vuforia-unity-project-as-a-windows-pc-standalone-app Apparently what maximrouf did was somehow trick Vuforia that the build was actually in play mode.

This issue has been on the Vuforia wish-list thread for three years, so I doubt that there's ever going to be desktop build support natively.
