Gaia/Camera

The Gaia Camera app is a camera web app, for the front end of B2G

Status

• Feature Name: Gaia Camera App
• Stage: Development
• Release Target: B2G Demo Phone, Q1 2012

Team

• Front End Developer: Ben Francis
• Back End Developers: Fabrice Desré & Kan-Ru Chen
• UX: Josh Carpenter & Trond Werner Hansen
• Product Manager: Chris Lee
• Tech Lead: Chris Jones

Issues & Risks

• How should the camera app integrate with or interact with the gallery app to store photos? https://github.com/andreasgal/gaia/issues/291
• The current approach of using a <input type="file"> tag (bug 708484) results in a very poor user experience. Hopefully WebRTC's getUserMedia can provide better results in future but this won't be ready for the Demo Phone milestone. Update: Fabrice has implemented a poor man's getUserMedia in bug 708484, will experiment with this.
