Creating a Camera App - Developer Diary #Day0

Key Takeaways

hey everyone my name is matt scales and with Google's web developer relations team I'm building a web app at the moment and I'd like to share with you my process for building the app as well as talking about any problems that I have and anything interesting to learn along the way so let's take a look at what I'm building so here we can see a prototype of my camera on screen at the moment is the photos that I've already taken as well as a photo I've imported mostly my face because that's what I have have around when I'm developing and we have the ability here to either upload a photo or drag and drop it in or use the camera on the device to actually take a new photo on a mobile phone we're going to be adding in capabilities to do all of the things that your camera is capable of like firing the flash or changing the ISO or changing where the focus point is on the screen at the moment I've only got the ability to change the mirroring for selfie mode so let's take a photo and now we're into edit mode you know we have a 30 standard set of filters here things that you'd see in any photo editing yet so I've got saturation and I'm using WebGL to render the filter effects in real time as you move the slider as we go on we're gonna be adding in lots more features to the app we're gonna start by changing the camera settings when we actually take the photo so going to be able to use on a mobile device will be able to use things like auto white balance we'll be able to use change the focus point or actually fire the flash we're going to be adding in new filters as particularly like named filters a set of filters where you click on it and it does a whole bunch of things all at once we're going to try make that really smooth and really fast and we'll be adding in all of these things for video so we have to capture a video and then live preview the video with the effects added and create the output video there on the device so if that sounds interesting to you please join me again to hear more about that and thank you for watching thanks for watching if you like to see more of our videos click here and see you again Cheers you
