How to record gameplay or screen with Vuforia?

Hello there,

Recently I started using Vuforia and everything is pretty straightforward, very easy to use. I am making a filter app for Instagram, snapchat etc. I want to record my screen, similar to instagram/snapchat stories, is there a way of doing that? I couldn't find anything on google.

 

Hi @tomicz, this article goes over how to get the Camera Image in Vuforia https://library.vuforia.com/article...amera#How-To-Access-the-Camera-Image-in-Unity
You can get the camera image as either a Unity Texture2D or an OpenGL texture and composite these together to create a recording.
Alternatively, I'm sure you could find a plugin on the Asset Store that accomplishes this functionality in Unity.

Thanks!

 

Hello. Does it also capture augmentation? Or just the camera?

 

This will only capture the camera.

 

So things in game won't be visible after recorded?

 

You can obtain a composited screen shot in a couple of ways - https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/faq/unity-how-can-i-capture-screen-shot

Do you just need stills or video as well?

 

Video.

I want to create an app where you can insert virtual objects, then show them in the real world. Also, an option to share it on Instagram or any other social media. So switching between front or back camera is a must.

 

I've read that developers have been successful using Vuforia w/ Everyplay. There is apparently a work-around needed to get audio recording working though - https://github.com/Everyplay/everyplay-unity-sdk/issues/18

 

you guys should bring recording feature in unity

 

Everyplay has been closed sadly.

 

Hi @Neogene , NatCorder is the way to go at this point for screen gameplay recording. It works really well and I have used it with really good results, also in combination with Vuforia: https://forum.unity.com/threads/natcorder-video-recording-api.505146/

 

Please have a look at Cross Platform Replay Kit which makes it easy to record what ever you see on screen on both iOS and Android platforms.

We have our customers using the plugin successfully with in their AR apps already.

Please check this page for tutorials and more information.

Update : Now supports Vuforia + File access in upcoming version.


Thanks,

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to mirror an AR session while recording an AR session on IOS or Android? I want to be able to record an AR session while sending it to an apple tv or a miracast device for people to see live.

It seems like the operating systems let you do one or the other, and never both at the same time. Just wondering if it was possible before I set it up a different way.

Thanks

 

Doest it record augmentation also? or just camere feed without augmented objects? @henriqueranj

 

Hi @qosja , it can record anything you chose to record in the game screen. In a nutshell, you can provide a Unity Camera to NatCorder and it will record that. Therefore, depending on your layer masking, you can select what you want to record. For example, you can record with or without UI; with or without augmentations; etc.

Please look into the NatCorder features in the Asset Store for more information (I am not the author or sponsored ):
