GeoCamera Pitch

Geo.camera is the base camera module used by various Simtable Applications. It is most important to the alert.live network and realtime.earth. Find designs here: Miro Board

Key Functions

1. Access Camera Stream

Geo.Camera allows you to access the camera stream in two ways:

• Via WebRTC stream
• Via quick succession of shots

2. Access Camera Location

Geo.Camera provides camera location in two ways:

• On the globe via browser's geolocation API
• In the room and in relation to other cameras in the room via the brightestPoint method

Phase 1 -- Complete

Create a webpage at https://geo.camera that gets a reference to all the cameras.

Create functions to:

• Get frame from video
• Set shutter/exposure and gain/ISO
• Report laser point UV

Phase 2

1. Create a function to get a camera's location through the browser
2. Sketch then build UI for set-up screen for each camera
• Get permission for location, camera and video from user in this UI
3. Set up environment to mock remote control on same device. Look into communicating between browser windows. Will be replaced by acequia.js; check if geocamera.js can run on Node
4. Sketch then build UI for a user's 'Control Center'
• This will show all of a user's cameras and the properties they can change
• Take inspiration from IP Webcam app
