Android Camera from Unity

Questions & Answers
1

Hy!
Is there a possibility to acces camera hardware from an Android device, from a Unity3D application. I don’t need augmented reality, so if there is a simple possibility to acces live preview from camera and taking photos. I tried Qualcomm AR sample project from Asset Store, but I can’t get it work. It is just stopping after couple of seconds, I’m not sure if he even loads the application. I tested on emulator and on LG Optimus One, but I have the same behaviour.

Thanks!

In Unity 3.4, you can only access the camera using plugins (like Qualcomm AR, which I have not looked at yet). Unity 3.5 will have native support for Cameras on Android, iOS, Mac and Windows.
