Can I use another USB camera (not a webcam)
Hello, I'm new to unity and before I really dive in, I need to know if I can use an external USB3 camera for AR-like application in unity 5+. It's a Toupcam microscope camera (see link below) which I have running well in standard C# VS. It has it's own SDK and DLL. http://www.touptek.com/product/showproduct.php?lang=en&id=195
I'm working on a microscope training (and other) simulator and AR visualization kit.
I have successfully got a logitech webcam to work using other info here (RawImage, etc.) but I don't know how to get the toupcam up since it's not a "webcam".
Sorry if this is beginner question. I really need to know this before I spend hundreds of hours in Unity and then find out it's not possible...
THANKS.
Does the camera appear in the list of camera devices? If yes, it should work. If not, you'd probably have to use their SD$$anonymous$$ and talk directly to the camera. It's possible, but the effort is hard to estimate.
