11.1.2 Details

Awake()
When the script instance is loaded, it resets permissions, main camera, and renderer needed to drive ARGear.

OnPostRender()
Takes the camera data received in the ARGear Session and renders it in Unity OpenGL. It also saves the FaceTracking and Segmentation data in the Unity transform object.

LateUpdate()
After the update is run, it converts the ARGear Session's camera data to fit the window of the Unity Player.

OnApplicationPause(bool pause)
Resets/ pauses the ARGear session based on the state of the Unity Player. Parameters bool pause: the value of the Unity player's state

OnDestroy()
Destroys the ARGear session when the Unity player is destroyed.

GetFaceTransform(int index)
Returns the specific location of the face transform array object. Parameters int index: the location from the array. Returns Transform: an object with face scale, position, and rotation data

UpdateFaceObjects()
Renews the transform data with the face data from ARGear as a foundation every time OpenGL is rendered in the Unity Player.

ChangeCameraFacing()
Changes between the front/back camera.

RequestSignedUrl(string url, string title, string uuid)
Takes the URL, title, and type data of the content file to be downloaded and returns a string of a signed URL where contents download is possible. Parameters string url: a basic URL of the file to be downloaded string title: Title of contents string uuid: the unique URL (uuid) of the contents Returns string: a signed URL where contents download is possible

SetItem(ARGEnum.ContentsType type, string filePath, string uuid, ARGearContentsCallback callback = null)
Delivers the file path of the downloaded Type and Contents File and the Contents' uuid and makes it possible to render the contents on the camera screen. Parameters ARGEnum.ContentsType type: the ContentType of the content to be set string filePath: the file path where the contents will be downloaded to string uuid: the unique URL (uuid) of the contents callback: callback result

SetBeauty(float[] values)
Applies 16 types of Beauty Type values consistently. Parameters float[] values: arranges a float of size 16

SetBulge(ARGEnum.BulgeType type)
Applies the selected type from 6 types of Fun Bulge. Choosing the ARGEnum.BulgeType.NONE option turns off Fun Bulge. Parameters ARGEnum.BulgeType type: chosen Fun Bulge type

SetFilterLevel(float level)
Sets the strength level of the currently selected filter. It is set from 0 to 100, and the closer to 100, the filter strength is closer to 100%. Parameters float level: strength of the chosen filter (0~100)

ClearContents(ARGEnum.ContentsType type)
Clears the contents of the received ARGEnum.ContentsType. Parameters ARGEnum.ContentsType type: ARGear contents type

SetDrawLandmark(bool isVisible)
A function that switches the debug mode of the landmark sign on and off. Parameters bool isVisible: Landmark Debug on/off

ConvertBeautyData(float[] values)
Converts the Beauty data values set in Unity to fit Android values. This is a method exclusively for Android. Parameters float[] values: Unity Beauty data Returns float[] values: the values converted to Android Beauty data

SetCameraTexture	Sets the ARGear camera texture in the Unity Renderer.
GetRigidPose	Changes ARGear's face data so that it can be used in Unity.

11.2.2 Details

Start()
Gives ARGear the Unity Player settings of ApiKey, SecretKey, AuthKey, and Config and resets.

Update()
Returns the ARGear Session's camera width and height when each frame of the Unity Player is updated.
