Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

This is a request for the functionality to take a picture from a computer's attached camera and use it in a web application.

2. Users & use cases

  • Take a picture on flickr, or upload from your gallery.
  • Take a profile photo on facebook, or upload from your gallery.
  • Instagram for the web.

3. Dependencies

  • Requires an underlying implementation for capturing from camera devices. (done - anant has volunteered!)

4. Requirements

For mobile we should use an external app for performance reasons.

For desktop we should be able to take an image snapshot.

Non-goals

  • This does not include the ability to capture a video and send that video somewhere. This is only for taking a picture.
  • Previewing the image in a canvas with the ability to modify it before uploading it to a server; previewing and modifying the image won't be possible with this implementation (Phase 2 will eventually provide that functionality).

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

First iteration design specification

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

Mobile implementation is almost landed.

Main bug for desktop: Bug 692955

Currently waiting on three things to happen for desktop:

  • Implementation of the Chrome UI (fabrice)
  • Implementation of the in-page UI (mounir or dholbert)
  • WebRTC integration and landing (jesup):
    • Landing Windows build support (ted)
    • Pruning code base for image capture (as needed) (jesup)
    • Legal review (under way, no problems expected)
    • Security review of code paths needed for image capture (jesup, curtis)
    • Picking a 'stable point' in WebRTC upstream to use as the mergepoint (jesup)
    • Landing review of the capture code from webrtc (jesup)
    • Post-landing testing and debugging (jesup, fabrice, qa, etc)
