What does it mean to attach a mobile camera to an external camera?

Please explain in a little more detail how you want to use it.

My AR application uses an external camera, so there is no gyro or positioning data.

At the moment, if I use the Instant Tracker, I have to elevate the camera dn look down perpendicular to the floor plane.

If I attach a mobile camera (iPhone) to external camera, is it possible to take the position data from the iPhone and provide positional data for the external camera?

It seems that when connecting iPhone to external camera, the gyro sensor or position data is obtained on iPhone and the actual camera is using external camera. right?

Simply connecting the iPhone to external data seems difficult. This is because there is no connection between the iPhone and an external camera. Every time the iPhone moves, the external data will change, but the screen that the camera illuminates is still visible, so it will continue to generate false poses while grabbing the pose. Also, when you move the camera, you have to take a new pose as the angle or position of the camera changes. Is the angle of the camera or the tilt of the camera intended to receive data from the iPhone? So, it is hard to catch the pose changed with the SDK that we are currently providing.

I am sorry to inform you of the bad news. Good luck to you.
