ARFoundationFrameSource Class¶

Description¶

A custom frame source which connects AR Foundation output to EasyAR input in the scene, providing AR Foundation support using custom camera feature of EasyAR Sense.

This frame source is one type of motion tracking device, and will output motion data in a ARSession .

AR Foundation is required to use this frame source, you need to setup AR Foundation according to official documents.

This frame source will use ARFoundation.ARSession.CheckAvailability to check availability. FrameSource.Camera and ARFoundationFrameSource.ARSessionOrigin are also required for availability check, they will be automatically picked from scene objects if not setup. To choose frame source in runtime, you can deactive AR Foundation GameObjects and set all required values of all frame sources for availability check, and active AR Foundation GameObjects when this frame source is chosen.

IsAvailable¶

C#: public override Optional<bool> IsAvailable { get; }

AvailableCenterMode¶

C#: public virtual IReadOnlyList< ARSession.ARCenterMode > AvailableCenterMode { get; }

Available center mode of the frame source.

Camera¶

C#: public virtual Camera Camera { get; set; }

Camera used by the frame source in an ARSession .
