Hello! Is there a way to use Unity’s AR features to detect images through a webcam? I can’t figure out how to get Unity to use my RealSense camera for AR Image Recognition, I don’t even necessarily need it to track the position, I just need it to recognize a real-life object. Is this something that’s doable with Unity AR?
ARFoundation will not work with your laptop webcam out of the box. You could theoretically write your own provider for it, but it would not be trivial. If you only need to test image tracking, consider testing in simulation.
See our supported hardware.
Note our FAQ:
Are there AR Foundation alternatives for standalone Windows or Mac?
Yes, but Unity employees will likely not be able to give you any advice for these sorts of builds. OpenCV is a common place to start.
