Syntax

public class XRCameraSubsystem : SubsystemWithProvider<XRCameraSubsystem, XRCameraSubsystemDescriptor, XRCameraSubsystem.Provider>, ISubsystem

Remarks

The XRCameraSubsystem links a Unity Camera to a device camera for video overlay (pass-thru rendering). It also allows developers to query for environmental light estimation, when available.

Methods

GetConfigurations(Allocator)

Queries for the supported camera configurations.

Declaration

public NativeArray<XRCameraConfiguration> GetConfigurations(Allocator allocator)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Allocator	allocator	The allocation strategy to use for the returned data.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeArray<XRCameraConfiguration>	The supported camera configurations.

GetMaterialKeywords(out List<String>, out List<String>)

Get the enabled and disabled shader keywords for the material.

Declaration

public void GetMaterialKeywords(out List<string> enabledKeywords, out List<string> disabledKeywords)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
List<String>	enabledKeywords	The keywords to enable for the material.
List<String>	disabledKeywords	The keywords to disable for the material.

GetTextureDescriptors(Allocator)

Gets the XRTextureDescriptors associated with the current frame. The caller owns the returned NativeArray and is responsible for calling Dispose on it.

Declaration

public NativeArray<XRTextureDescriptor> GetTextureDescriptors(Allocator allocator)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Allocator	allocator	The allocator to use when creating the returned NativeArray.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeArray<XRTextureDescriptor>	An array of texture descriptors.

OnBeforeBackgroundRender(Int32)

Method to be called on the render thread to handle any required platform-specifc functionality immediately before rendering the camera background. This method will always be called on the render thread and should only be called by the code responsible for executing background rendering on mobile AR platforms.

Declaration

public void OnBeforeBackgroundRender(int id)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	id	Platform-specific identifier.

Register(XRCameraSubsystemCinfo)

Registers a camera subsystem implementation based on the given subsystem parameters.

Declaration

public static bool Register(XRCameraSubsystemCinfo cameraSubsystemParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
XRCameraSubsystemCinfo	cameraSubsystemParams	The parameters defining the camera subsystem functionality implemented by the subsystem provider.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the subsystem implementation is registered. Otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentException	Thrown when the values specified in the XRCameraSubsystemCinfo parameter are invalid. Typically, this will occur if id is null or empty if implementationType is null if implementationType does not derive from the XRCameraSubsystem class

TryAcquireLatestCpuImage(out XRCpuImage)

Attempts to acquire the latest camera image. This provides direct access to the raw pixel data, as well as to utilities to convert to RGB and Grayscale formats.

Declaration

public bool TryAcquireLatestCpuImage(out XRCpuImage cpuImage)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
XRCpuImage	cpuImage	A valid XRCpuImage if this method returns true.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the image was acquired. Returns false otherwise.

Remarks

The returned XRCpuImage must be disposed to avoid resource leaks.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
NotSupportedException	Thrown if the implementation does not support camera image.

TryGetIntrinsics(out XRCameraIntrinsics)

Returns the camera intrinsics information.

Declaration

public bool TryGetIntrinsics(out XRCameraIntrinsics cameraIntrinsics)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
XRCameraIntrinsics	cameraIntrinsics	The camera intrinsics information returned from the method.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the method successfully gets the camera intrinsics information. Otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note

The intrinsics may change each frame. You should call this each frame that you need intrinsics in order to ensure you are using the intrinsics for the current frame.

TryGetLatestFrame(XRCameraParams, out XRCameraFrame)

Get the latest frame from the provider.

Declaration

public bool TryGetLatestFrame(XRCameraParams cameraParams, out XRCameraFrame frame)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
XRCameraParams	cameraParams	The Unity Camera parameters.
XRCameraFrame	frame	The camera frame to be populated if the subsystem is running and successfully provides the latest camera frame.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the camera frame is successfully returned. Otherwise, false.

TryGetLatestImage(out XRCpuImage)

Attempts to acquire the latest camera image. This provides direct access to the raw pixel data, as well as to utilities to convert to RGB and Grayscale formats. This method is obsolete. Use TryAcquireLatestCpuImage(out XRCpuImage) instead.

Declaration

[Obsolete("Use TryAcquireLatestCpuImage instead. (2020-05-19)")]
public bool TryGetLatestImage(out XRCpuImage cpuImage)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
XRCpuImage	cpuImage	A valid XRCpuImage if this method returns true.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the image was acquired. Returns false otherwise.

Remarks

The returned XRCpuImage must be disposed to avoid resource leaks.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
NotSupportedException	Thrown if the implementation does not support camera image.
