Hi,
Is it possible to use AR mode from pixel streaming?
If I want to open a scene on my phone via pixel streaming, is it possible to create a button to go to AR mode? If not, is there a workaround?
Hey @T4I_R,
The VCam plugin and associating mobile application utilise AR data to control a camera component placed in the scene.
While the PixelStreamingInfra doesn’t support AR data currently, it’s entirely possible that you can fork the infra to add this support.
Once your web frontend is sending AR data back to Unreal, you’ll need to register a message handler to handle this data. See here for how the VCam plugin achieves this.
TLDR: There will need to be frontend changes and C++ modifications to your project but it is theoretically possible.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the answer.
The link you sent doesn’t exist anymore or isn’t working for me.
As for the VCam, it requires an ip address and also to download the VCam app on the phone, right?
I don’t know if there’s a way to avoid these two… Do you know of any?
The link requires you to be logged in on GitHub and part of the EpicGames Org. Instructions for how to join the Org are here.
The VCam example was to simply show you that it’s possible. The approach you take for deploying your project and sharing it is up to you.
