CameraAPI for mobile browsers #10

Closed forresto closed 11 years ago

forresto commented 11 years ago

Meemoo's cam module (source, demo) uses a CameraAPI alternative for choosing an image file from the file system or taking an image with the mobile camera (works in the latest iOS).

I could help integrate this if you like.

This looks cool and interesting. Android also supports such an API. This would be very useful. I have combed over the source code of Firefox OS and they use a similar API for their camera. I would also like to help with this.

I think this looks cool, however, for the same reasons I'm not keen on adding flash support, I'd prefer not to make the code responsible for all the potential fallbacks.

I do think improving the error handling and documentation so plugging these things in is easier, though.

The difference is that this fallback is HTML5, not very complicated, brings camera support to mobile browsers, and adds file choosing functionality to desktops. "Choose image" and "take image" usually go together.
