Device Camera

Functions

captureFrameTexture

Snapshot the live device camera feed and return it as a new Texture frozen at the moment of the call. Returns a fresh Texture each call (null only if the device camera texture is unavailable). The texture can be applied to a material, drawn, or post-processed. Call it from a normal event (e.g. TapEvent), not before the first frame has rendered.

getLiveTextureTexture

Return the LIVE device camera Texture — it keeps updating every frame. Apply it to a material to show the live camera feed. Returns the same texture object each call (null only if the device camera texture is unavailable). For a frozen still use captureFrame() instead.

• Face EventsMakes your Lens react when you open your mouth, smile, kiss, raise your eyebrows or tilt your head. It also tells the Lens where your eyes, nose and mouth are on screen.
• Face MLChanges your face with one ready-made effect, for example an anime look, a meme grin or a skull. Say the look you want, and your Lens keeps that one effect.
• FaceLandmarksFollows where your eyes, nose, mouth and forehead are, so a sticker or text can sit on them and move with you. Ask for hearts on your eyes.
• GyroscopeTurns tilting and shaking your phone into a control for your Lens. Ask for a tilt game, for example a maze where you roll a ball to the exit.
• Hand TrackingFollows your hands and reads gestures like a fist, a pinch, a thumbs up or a peace sign. Ask for something your hand controls, for example drawing with a pinch.
