Currently Qualcomm has released both the iOS and Android libraries for “Gimbal” (The next step of Augmented Reality).
I have been playing around with the Android side, I successfully converted the .jar file to a .dll using IKVM http://www.ikvm.net
(As a note, I tried to look into the iOS side, but my lack of knowledge has stopped me)
I then imported it into the Android plugins folder, using C# to start programming I impressed myself when it all worked! I started to follow the tutorial as if I was making the application in eclipse.
As you can see on line 12, I ran into an error - it appears I need the android Activity class. Now im stuck.
Nice try! Very interesting idea actually, but I think it’s definitely not possible as Unity does not (afaik) expose the Android Context object and the Gimbal SDK assumes that it’s passed at init time (factories to get a connector expect a Context/Activity object).
I think we would have to implement a special driver for Unity as Unity is still exposing what’s required for Gimbal. Although, need to double check that as I am not an expert with Unity…
