camera feed

is it possible to get a feed from the front-back cameras? i only want to show them as a live background, so some bitmap pointing to the camera or whatever would be enough. if not, did somebody write an android plugin for this? if yes, would it be possible to share it with us? thanks

Well camera feed could be retrieved through plugins, but right now it probably could not be integrated with Gideros objects, meaning you could only put the feed on OpenGlES view (on your game screen) and that would be it. Maybe position/resize if that is what Camera API in Android gives, but nothing more.

first of all i did not find documentation, second in the plugin folder there is a camera subfolder but only with android and ios subfolders. does this mean that it works only on these os's? for my current urgent project i'd like to use it on a windows desktop, and if camera feed does not work it means i've to rewrite lot's of code in another framework just because of the camera feed.
please let me know what is the state of the camera plugin, and thanks for your help.

Yes camera feed is available for Android and iOS only, and still somewhat unstable on iOS. It basically render live camera (back only) flow into a texture. I needed it for a project of mine and decided to release it publicly, unfortunately it is not available for any other platform. I am trying to port it to Windows Phone first since I have some potential clients on WP and this is already very difficult.
this is needed for a paid project so i may be able to add some (small) financial reward as well (pm me about how much you would need to be motivated enough). although at this point it's not clear if i will need to use another framework for other reasons anyway (i may also need to use multiple windows - not supported yet by gideros and i guess this is less easy to add, am i wrong? - as the project is an installation running on multiple screens).
thanks
