Ability to switch between wide and Ultra wide angle camera in Vuforia View IOS device (Ipad)

Hi @Sandy_Gunner ,

the first point is what is the technical background?

• what is the exact  device type /description in your applicaiton case ? - e.g. I have iPad Pro  11 inch , 3. Generation
• and what is the IOS version? e.g. 17.5.1 

what is the applicaiton case? or possibly what you belive that you will have an significant improvement in the functionality. That is important when we dicuss this issue with the R&D team. 

did you measure something where   e.g. you hope that with the ultra camera you will get more accurate detail. Or are your concern only about the picture resolution /size?

I see that in Vuforia Engine we have some option e.g. in  Unity there are setting: https://developer.vuforia.com/library/platform-support/working-camera-unity

or for native https://developer.vuforia.com/library/platform-support/working-camera-native 

so possibly these setting will lead to change to the camera used. In vuforia Studio we do not have an option for that for the display.

For take a picture via the Camera widget we have some option what we can set  - I remember that we have an issue what was reported for the HoloLens 2 - R&D Ticket VTS-1856 - "Vuforia Studio camera widget resolution."

So here we are able to set for the widget the resoluton:

$scope.takeScreenie = function () {
 let props = {
 "imgWidth": 2880,
 "imgHeight": 1406
 };
 
 let successCb = function(result, params) {
 console.log("params: " + JSON.stringify(params));
 console.log("result: ", result);
 };
 
 tml3dRenderer.takeScreenshot(props, successCb, ()=>{});
}

I never checked if this work for ios devices and if we set the value this will have effect or will switch to the ultra -wide precison camera if we use higher parameter. Also important is what should be the correct values what need to be specify.

But for possible report  to R&D and PM it is imporant to know    what is your applcaiton case , and what is the goal .  Do you have a specific problem to solve? Why do you want to use that camera. Remember that it will be possibly slower. Is there some siginificant improvment waht we can expect for the specific device type (ios version) etc.? Thanks
