Focus AR camera at a point?

Unity Engine

My trackable object is intended to be held at the bottom half of the user’s camera feed screen, but on my Android device the camera autofocus seems to want to focus into the background. I’d like to override the camera focus point to always attempt to focus on the trackable object within the camera feed screen.

It looks like this was possible with the WebcamTexture#autoFocusPoint Unity - Scripting API: WebCamTexture.autoFocusPoint but I haven’t found any similar API reference for how to do so with AR Foundation or how I could achieve something like this.

Is this possible with AR Foundation API?
If not, is there something I could do in ARCore?

Hi @brianpmaher

AR Foundation only supports enabling or disabling auto focus via ARCameraManager.autoFocusRequested. This property corresponds to ARCore’s Config.FocusMode on Android. Neither AR Foundation nor ARCore implement the feature you describe here.
