Screen capture/screen shot using Vuforia
Hi all,
Im currently working on a project which uses vuforia for object recognition.
I've been tasked with taking a screenshot/photo of the app in use, using the camera.
It needs to show the whole camera + holograms that are in view and needs to be done within the app itself.
I've tried vuforias Image class, and converting the image into a texture2d, but Im still unable to see anything that comes to the screen.
Ive seen OpenGL readpixels + OpenCV recommended elsewhere, but the opencv plugin for unity is 90 dollars and I really dont want to spend that much only to find it doesnt work.
Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Don't use Vuforia to capture the photo. In fact you will need to disable Vuforia's tracking when you go to capture so it gives up access of the camera.
Instead us Unity's PhotoCapture. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/VR.WSA.WebCam.PhotoCapture.html
