Question Using Tablet Camera Using ARC

I having a problem using the camera on my Windows 8.1 tablet. I get this error: Object recognition initialized Error initializing Camera: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComException (0x80004004):Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from call to a COM component.

I get the same error using either the front or rear facing camera...I have the latest ARC version 2016.01.06.00

Is your tablet an Acer w3? The cameras have a non standard resolution and don't work in ARC.

It is a PIPO tablet quad core tablet. Camera model# s are HM2056 and GC310. I thought ARC work with any camera device that Windows recognizes.

#3  

Both cameras work fine with the Windows camera app.

#4  

Yeah, the Acer cameras work in windows and other apps, just not ARC too.

I just realized I haven't tried since upgrading the tablet to Windiws 10. I need to take care of a honeydo list item, but will test that in a little while.

Yup, still happening in Windows 10 (darn...)

I am building a robot with intergrated Windows tablet. I have access to another EZ v4, but I was hoping to use tablet cameras with ARC.
