video overlay doesnt work in unity tango api


The video overlay option is not working in the Project Tango API. I have tried building the sample Augmented reality Scenes and instead of the video overlay I only get a white background. I have not enabled the multi threaded rendering in the player settings in Unity. Still the issue exists.

I am using Motorola G2 for testing the built application. I tried with different devices but still the same result. I tried sample apps following the tutorial for Area learning and still the same result.

Any help is much appreciated.


Solution

  • Google Tango SDK is only for devices with new sensor technology which allow for depth sensing, motion tracking and area reconstruction.

    Currently, only Google's own development kit, a tablet, supports the Tango SDK. The first phone to support it is a Lenovo device, but is not released yet.

    The issue you complain about is most likely that the devices you test on does not have this new sensor technology.

    I suggest you read up by searching on google tango and go to the project homepage
