ZED X Mini GEN_2 Positional Tracking in Unity

Software Unity
1

Hello,

I am working on a spatial mapping application in Unity using a ZED X Mini. I have noticed that when using the GEN_2 positional tracking mode with this camera that spatial mapping does not work. I was previously using a 2i with these parameters and everything was working smoothly. However, after switching to the X Mini spatial mapping does not start when using GEN_2. IE when using the 2i with GEN_2 I would press the button to start spatial mapping and would see the blue indicators creating the mesh and after finishing the mesh is saved to my computer. Now when I try with X Mini I do not see the blue indicators and no mesh is saved. We would like to use GEN_2 because our application requires depth and location accuracy. Is GEN_2 positional tracking currently compatible with spatial mapping with a ZED X Mini? I have tried reading documentation and other forum posts and have not been able to find any info. Any advice or workarounds would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

I assume you are using the local streaming feature of the ZED SDK to use a ZED X Mini camera in Unity, am I correct?

There is a bug in the current version of the SDK preventing the streaming to correctly send IMU data which can explain why the tracking Gen2 is not working. This issue will be fixed in the next patch planned for either today or Monday.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
