  1. Hi I love the way you explained. I have a issue when I run the test in unity editor all goes fine but after building it to both for windows and android platform it shows nothing. Error is: 'couldn't initiate the tracker'. How to solve this pls help. Thanks in Advance..

  8. I appreciate your effort on doing this 3 minute show.

    I´d like to know if you can help me answer these questions:

    How do you make it to automatically open to the ipad / iphone?
    my UI is totally different than yours (it's white)
    How do you assign the properties?
    How do you upload the image? what folder of my computer?
    How do you upload another 3d model? where do I drag it, put it (in your example, the dragon???)
    SO many questions unanswered — Please do a more thorough tutorial, or please be so kind to tell me who knows these answers.

    Thanks a lot.

  10. Hi, I was wondering if you have any idea as why we get blank screen when using the phone camera.
    For rendering 3D objects we have tried these technologies:

    1. Vuforia
    2. https://github.com/Rajawali/Rajawali

    Our developers initial problem is to start camera in these platforms. Here is the code snippet we use in Rajawali to init the camera (suggested in few online sources):

    rajawaliSurface = (RajawaliSurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.rajawali_surface);
    rajawaliSurface.setFrameRate(60);
    rajawaliSurface.setRenderMode(IRajawaliSurface.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY);
    rajawaliSurface.setTransparent(true);
    rajawaliSurface.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
    myRenderer = new Render(this);
    rajawaliSurface.setSurfaceRenderer(myRenderer);

    It loads a blank screen.

    Here is another code snippet we use to initialize vuforia:

    private void initApplicationAR()
    {
    // Create OpenGL ES view:
    int depthSize = 16;
    int stencilSize = 0;
    boolean translucent = Vuforia.requiresAlpha();

    mGlView = new SampleApplicationGLView(this);
    mGlView.init(translucent, depthSize, stencilSize);

    mRenderer = new ImageTargetRenderer(this, vuforiaAppSession);
    mRenderer.setTextures(mTextures);
    mGlView.setRenderer(mRenderer);
    }

    Attached I have included our sample code with both rajawali and vuforia original samples. In all, camera is not initialized and we get blank white or black screens.

    If someone can help us to overcome this blank screen and initialize the camera it would be a very big push.

    Best,
    Ben

  11. HI! I was trying to download vuforia, but it seems that their webpage is having some system maintenance. Has anyone else ran into this? And is there another program that I can use besides vuforia?

  16. … Lost you at some point.

    Unity INTALLED
    Vuforia Ext INSTALLED

    Then what? Where do I find the button ADD TARGET ?
    I have a picture (edges, no tiles, etc) how do I get it into Unity and make it a target ???
    It seems you jumped a bit here.

    Also.. at the end… Hey is in the iPad !…. HOW ?!?!?
    Do I need to download an app from Unity?
    Do I need to compile an app?
    Really need help here !

    Can anybody help?

  19. Too many things missing in your tut :

    Where do you position the AR Camera, does it have to be positioned over the target pattern ?
    How do you plug-in your tablet ? does it require a special app to get downloaded on the ipad or android tablet ?
    i tried to realise an android .apk from your tut and got so many errors that i gave up.
    Realising cools tuts is really good but please, don't jump essential steps, starting on the idea that the people you teach are already familiar with what youre covering.
    Best regards.
