I’m trying to make an app where you can see a picture next to my friend’s head.
I want to use AR Foundation and AR Face Tracking to achieve this.
But when I try to use the rear camera the XR session disables face tracking.
I know for a fact that you can track Face Pose with the World Camera because I’ve seen it in the ar-foundation-samples project.
I tried to switch the camera from the start from the user to the world but when it switched it got a new pack of supported features.
Hi @bausegames
You can control the session configuration that your app chooses via a custom Configuration Chooser, explained in more detail in this video:
In your case you would want to select a configuration with the following capabilities if it is available on your device:
Feature.WorldFacingCamera | Feature.FaceTracking
Does anyone have a working example of this (world facing camera doing face detection) - I’ve not had any joy following the Custom Configuration video above.
This configuration may not be possible depending on your target platform. I believe this is not possible on ARCore. On ARKit, it is possible to enable face tracking while the world-facing camera is enabled, but the face tracking will still use the user-facing camera.
We have a sample scene for this: GitHub - Unity-Technologies/arfoundation-samples: Example content for Unity projects based on AR Foundation
