Question

Hello Guys,

can we use External Camera to view Vuforia Engine app which is created in unity 3D. If possible, how?

I am trying to build assembly work instructions on model target using Vuforia engine in unity. when i did the Unity build the app default it is taking device camera. Is there any possible way to access external camera which is connected to my android Tablet device through USB.

Hi @thrinath

your question seems to be a Vuforia Unity question and is not directly related to the Vuforia Studio product. Therefore I want to refer to the Vuforia Developmet portal - support - https://developer.vuforia.com/support where issue for Vuforia Engine /also unity related are handled.

You can ask questions and discuss with other developers via the official vuforia tag on Stack Overflow

on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/vuforia

I think for Windows devices you can check that below

and for Unity generally you can check the Engine guide:
