Convert pixel to 3D space

Does anyone know how to convert pixel to 3D space? I was planing to position a sprite dynamically.

Hello Kurochan,

You can use the Viewport.Unproject method for that.
The view and projection matrices can be extracted from the camera.
Use Matrix.Identity for the world matrix.
For the source vector, use the coordinate of the pixel in your window for XY and the depth of your object in the scene normalized between Viewport.MaxDepth and Viewport.MinDepth.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Android support is actually not trivial due to the variety of hardware. We had known issues on specific hardware with version 1.1. Those have been fixed in 1.2. If you still experience problems, we would be happy to hear about it. : )
