Vuforia spatial edge server error 'TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type undefined

I have followed all the instructions carefully from ptcrealitylab / Vuforia-Spatial-Toolbox-Virtualizer
and installed the versions of Unity, OpenCV which were mentioned in the repo. All the installation was successful.

Problem : After starting the unity scene, the kinect DK is opening and I can see the view in the Game window but the localhost:8080 does not have the preview…

Below is the error which I am getting from the edge server console

Hi @mice have you followed the installation steps for the vuforia spatial edge server?

Windows tutorial for server:

remote operator addon:

You need to install the core addon and the remote operator addon in the server.

Hello Valentin,

Thanks for the response. yes I did the same steps. I reinstalled everything and now its working perfectly fine. I am able to see Kinect DK 3D view in localhost:8081.

Perfect! I am happy that it worked for you.

How can I open the same webpage on an Ipad or other device if I am connected with same wifi network. Is there a way to do so ?
So that I can have the live view of Kinect DK on different devices as well within the network.
