Expose an OSC input to take a photo with the VRC photo camera #60

Open hai-vr opened 2 years ago

hai-vr commented 2 years ago

What's the idea? This idea aims to let the user externally control the shutter of the VRC photo camera from an external program. The proposal is to expose an OSC input, which, once triggered, takes a photo with the VRC photo camera. A side effect of this proposal is that the user is no longer required to delay or hold the photo camera in their hand in order to take a picture.

Is there another way? It is possible to take screenshots natively, but these screenshots will not reflect the point of view of the photo camera and its settings without additional trickery.

Additional context N/A

This would be usefully, along with other settings to configure the camera automatically &/or swap setting profiles via OSC.

This would be amazingly useful for single person cinematic work. Right now, there's no easy way to switch the camera in and out of 'flying' mode with out finding the physical camera in your vr space and clicking the button. If you are in the middle of dancing acting a scene, it's awkward to say the best. Ultimate best case scenario would be, being able toggle the PINs on the camera and also toggle the flying. This would open up a ton of new functionality.

This would be very useful for many purposes.
