Camera Sensors

Basic Camera Sensor

All Camera sensors are inherited from HoloLens Sensor class.

• Camera Sensors can be created using the Create Sensor function

• To use a Camera Sensor, you need to wait until the camera has actually started. You can do this by subscribing to the On Video Texture Created event.

• Camera Sensors must be started to get data

• Camera Sensors should be stopped to save resources when no longer needed

• After starting, Camera Sensors have a Camera Image property, where images are stored. That’s a video texture, it can change every frame.

• Also after starting, Camera Sensors have their own resolution. You can request it by calling Get Hololens Sensor Resolution. The result is false if the camera hasn’t started yet.

Depth Cam

Depth Cam Sensors don’t have any additional functions or parameters beyond the basic Camera Sensor. However, Depth Cam Sensors have an important runtime requirement: only one depth sensor can be active at a time. If you want start another depth sensor, you must stop the previous one.

VLC Cams can return their instrinsics via Get Instrinsics
