Question by srodelb · May 25, 2012 at 05:00 PM · cameraaugmented-realityaugmented realitywebcamqualcomm

How to use external camera or webcam for AR in Unity ?

I need an external camera to be able to detect some markers positions and unity to place GameObjects at these positions.

Does anybody have any idea if there's such a plugin or an augmented reality library which I can use in Unity to create PC games ?

As far as I know, Vuforia only allows us to create apps for iOS and Androids.

Regards, sRodelb

you should go to the AR component, open vuforia configuration under vuforia behaviour script, then look for Webcam.Find camera device and there you can switch from your computer cam to the usb one that you have already plugged in your computer. :) Piece of cake
