Shared camera support with ARSceneView?

[carloshwa]

Is it possible to use a shared camera with ARSceneView, using the Session.Feature.SHARED_CAMERA session feature as documented here?

ARCore's Shared Camera mode allows simultaneous access to the camera for custom image processing. In v4.0.0-rc.1, you can access camera frames through the session:

ARSceneView(
    onSessionUpdated = { session, frame ->
        // Access the camera image
        val image = frame.acquireCameraImage()
        // Process the image (ML, CV, etc.)
        image.close()
    }
)

For full Shared Camera mode (Camera2 interop), you'd configure the AR session with shared camera access. This is an advanced ARCore feature — SceneView provides the session access and you use ARCore's shared camera API directly.
