EasyAR HMD Support

EasyAR and Head Mounted Display SDK

Most EasyAR features and device features are not overlapped. So EasyAR do not delegate device functionalities in most cases. When you need to use some device features like gesture recognition, you need to follow the way the hardware officially offers, and learn usages and application scope of these features from its official documents.

To EasyAR, device SDK offers motion tracking capability on their devices, and this is the only feature EasyAR take use of from the device. Please read Motion Tracking and EasyAR Features for the relationship between EasyAR and motion tracking, and which EasyAR features can be used when motion tracking is available.

To Pico, Apple Vision Pro, Rokid, XREAL and other AR/VR display devices, they do not use EasyAR to make devices to work. EasyAR adds more possibilities to the device in some scenarios.

Attention

Make sure device demo works correctly

If this is the first time using device SDK in present project, make sure to use its own demo first without EasyAR. Usually these demos require some special project settings, please follow official documents. Physical Camera input demo are provided by many device SDK, like RKCameraPreview from Rokid. EasyAR require input from physical camera. Many other demos does not use physical camera, so the device itself or these samples can work and display contents is not enough to say the device or project is ready for EasyAR.

Tip

EasyAR will display some message in front of camera which will show up if the device SDK is correctly configured. If you see nothing when running EasyAR, it is quite possible the device SDK is not correctly configured and the device demo will fail to run reasonablely.
