  • Is it possible to use two webcams serially with Vuforia?

    Hello,

    We've successfully tested frame capture from a webcam (a LogiTech BRIO) using Vuforia.
    So we thought we'd see what would happen if we attached a second UVC camera (an older LogiTech 9000) to our USB hub and
    then attempted to access the cameras serially. That is, we would capture some frames from the first camera, close it via the VuforiaLocalizer,
    then open the second camera. This attempt crashed with the error message: "Vuforia failed to start: phase=Nascent".

    The cameras were recognized during configuration (using Scan): "Webcam 1" and "Webcam 2".

    Is there a way to make this work?

    Here's a portion of our log, starting with the close of the first camera:
