Augmented reality applications for mobile devices

[mrcoollion]

Is there a way to show a live camera feed in a card (mobile devices) and placing objects in front (e.g. buttons).
I would like to use this for creating augmented reality applications for mobile devices.
Of course for this I also need gps information and compass information to be available at the same time the live feed is running.

It would be nice if WebRTC was possible te use in the browser widget?

I'd also love to know if there is any way to do this!

It is a pity that no one seems to have a solution for this and it does not seem to be in the LiveCode roadmap.

While live feeds from cameras is not a feature available in LiveCode today, this is an excellant opportunity for a widget to be made that adds in this functionality to LiveCode.

The LiveCode team are currently hard at work on the 'Infinite LiveCode' campaign that will bring tutorials and examples for creating widgets. This may help any community member interested enough in live camera feeds to add this feature in themselves.

Depending on the type of AR being pursued, it may not even need live camera feeds. Consider Ingress, for example, one of the most popular and longest-running AR games around. It uses location and other mobile features, but in a UI that renders a view of space more conceptually, without a live camera feed.
