ARCore Session Recording
ARCore allows you to record an ArSession to an .mp4
and play it back at a later time. To support this feature, the ARCoreSessionSubsystem exposes the following methods:
To start a recording, supply an ArRecordingConfig. This specifies the file name that Unity saves the recording as, as well as other options. Call StopRecording
to stop recording. When Unity stops recording, it creates the .mp4
file as specified in the ArRecordingConfig
. This contains the camera feed and sensor data required by ARCore.
To play back a video, use the StartPlayback
method, and specify an .mp4
file created during an earlier recording.
To start or stop a recorded file in ARCore, the ARCoreSessionSubsystem pauses the session. Pausing and resuming a session can take between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds.
Note: Video recordings contain sensor data, but not the computed results. ARCore does not always produce the same output, which means trackables might not be consistent between playbacks of the same recording. For example, multiple playbacks of the same recording might give different plane detection results.
