Question MARS scenes don't work the second time I load them

Hi everybody!
I'm working on a very simple MARS app.
There are 3 scenes:
1 - A simple menu to choose one of the other 2 scenes
2 - An AR scene with one ImageMarker that triggers the display of some prefabs
3 - An AR scene with face tracking, to show some prefab around the face of the user

The app works well on Android phones but on iOS only the first executed AR scene works well. If I return to the menu and choose the other scene (or the same scene) it doesn't work anymore.

In other words consider the following sequence:
- Execute the app
- In the menu choose scene 2 or scene 3, it works well
- Return to the menu (there's a button for this action)
- Choose scene 2 or scene 3, it doesn't work.

Any suggestion ?
Thank you in advance.

 

This is the log output.
As you can see the sequence of scenes is:
Menu -> Scene2 -> Menu -> Scene2

Thank you very much for you reply !
With this solution the situation improved.

Now I can enter and exit the scene 2 (the one with the image marker) over and over without any fault. That's good.

But if I enter the scene 3 (the one with face tracking) it only works for the first time. From the second time on, it starts to drift the location of my 3d objects. This problem affects also the objects of scene 2.

It seems that the face tracking scene corrupts in some way all subsequent AR tracking and adds some sort of displacement to the position of the head or of the image marker.

Any other idea to solve this ?

 

Can't find a way to make this work.

Any help will be very appreciated !

 

Thank you!
From your reply I suppose you've been able to replicate the problem.

My client wants the iOS version now... The app is very basic without any fancy feature other than different scenes.

 

Hi everybody!

I'm Gianluca, I'm working with Alberto on an augmented reality application developed with Mars.
The work we are developing is an artistic application for a photography exhibition in Italy.
The exhibition is open to the public and the application is already available on google store.
It runs very well on android but the client is waiting for a Ios release
Unfortunately as Alberto described with IOS "It seems that the face tracking scene corrupts in some way all subsequent AR tracking and adds some sort of displacement to the position of the head or of the image marker" so we are really stuck on this.
In one way or another we need to solve this problem.

On https://www.terraignota.site take a quick look at the project and the application we are working on.

I was wondering is it possible to have support on these kinds of issues or maybe I should sign up for Unity Core Support?

Mars is amazing and I hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks guys in advance!

 

Thank you so much @jmunozarUTech for taking care of this problem with urgency ! We really need a fix or a workaround.

 

Just tried changing that parameter from -1 to 1 and unfortunately there's no difference.

 

I tried adding the calls to Initialize() and Deinitialize() and after a bit of trial and error everything works well now!

It's still not clear to me if the problem was due to the change of scene or to the change of front/back camera.

Anyway, thank you so much for your support !

 

Thank you so much guys!
The application works very well now also on IOS!
