Hi,

is it possible to use an external VIO camera like a Zed Mini from Stereolabs?

I tried to use the sparse spatialmap sample but it cannot detect it.

thanks

Sure, this kind of usage is supported.

Use like a custom camera, and in each frame data update, create InputFrame with image, camera parameter, timestamp (important), camera transform (important), and tracking status (important).

Hi,
I'm trying to use it under windows.
I got this message:
UIPopupException: easyar.CustomCameraSource not available under WindowsEditor
I need to use sparse map under windows environment.

easyar.CustomCameraSource is not a API. It is a sample.
Please try to understand what the sample is doing and do similar things in windows.

yes, I  know.. but I run the sample under windows and it throws this error.
EasyAR is available for mobile platforms and desktop as well, so I thought the "external camera sample" could work under windows using the webcam, but not.
thanks

Oh, sorry for the inconvenience. We did not write sample code for all platforms in this sample, it was mostly designed for users who are trying to access mobile camera APIs which we did not integrate.
But we can assure the APIs will work on all platforms, and we have done similar things.
