I have been trying to integrate ARToolkit Marker Object tracking into a Tango Application . So far I have created a build so that a tango app can access and use the ARToolkit Native Library or the ARToolkit Unity wrappers. However, they both seem to require exclusive access to the camera in their default configurations. How could you feed the same Android video feed to both libraries? Could you create a dummy camera device which doubles out the feed? Could you take the tango feed as normal, and then resend it into ARToolkit with a special VideoConf [edit] ARToolkit uses the older Camera1 API,

After some weeks of waiting I finally have my Project Tango. My idea is to create an app that generates a point cloud of my room and exports this to .xyz data. I'll then use the .xyz file to show the point cloud in a browser! I started off by compiling and adjusting the point cloud example that's on Google's github. Right now I use the onXyzIjAvailable(TangoXyzIjData tangoXyzIjData) to get a frame of x y and z values; the points. I then save these frames in a PCLManager in the form of Vector3 . After I'm done scanning my room, I simple write all the Vector3 from the PCLManager to a .xyz file

I'm trying to disable the camera auto-exposure. According to the docs here, https://developers.google.com/project-tango/apis/c/reference/group/config-params , it's possible to set the color_mode_auto, color_exp and color_iso values in the config. I've tried setting values to the TangoConfig object straight after it is created in TangoApplication.cs, but I get a warning back saying these TangoConfig was unable to set the relevant keys (key string name taken directly from the docs above). Is it possible to set these values in C#, and if so, where is the correct place to do it? You might need to

I'm trying make virtual objects be hidden when a real world object is positioned in front of it, but not having any luck with it, i've been playing with the occlusion settings in unity but the virtual objects do not become hidden? You could fix this problem by building your augmented reality scene with the experimental meshing enabled. Here is an example of the concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn3bhnPlfcw You then could ray cast from camera to the virtual object and turn off the object if a mesh blocks the raycast. +1 on AndrewNakas's solution. Another solution is to do the screen space

Tango pose.status_code always remains VALID after localization even if the device steps out of the ADF. How do I know if the device has moved out of the ADF? I have tried with both AreaLearningMode = enabled & Loading Existing ADF and all combinations of FramePair ; but in both cases pose.status_code is always VALID even if we step out of the ADF. It's intended to have ADF pose status to be valid even after device is out of ADF area. Under the hood, ADF pose is just a motion tracking pose with ADF's transformation correction on top of that. Thus even if it's out of the ADF, as long as motion
