Hi Vinicius, sorry for the delay in the response.  Currently we don't support Intel GMA graphics cards, so that's very likely the cause of the problem.  We don't yet have plans to support this card in future release but will make our best to cater for more variety of hardware.

Hi.

Is it possible to inactivate the GMA Intel card and afterwards run Build AR? Has that been tried?

Best regards,

Hi Garlos,

BuildAR needs graphics card to run the 3d models and camera.
I don't think disabling Intel Graphics card would work unless you have another graphics card(NVIDIA or AMD)is installed your computer.

Thanks,
Katy

Thanks Katia...

But does your team test winXP in this case ? Vinicius says that when you have XP in the same computer you don`t have any problem with the web cam, is that correct?

Is that possible?

Thanks

Thanks Carlos,

That's interesting that for Vinicius it worked on XP despite having an Intel GMA graphics card.  We do have some XP PCs for testing, but so far have decided not to support Intel GMA graphics cards until we can make it work consistently in all platforms and most configurations.  We are evaluating Intel GMA support in a future upgrade, so we'll take this finding into consideration.

Best regards,

- Gabriel
