'How to Render Webcam/Live video in WebGL without Library
I have been following this tutorial and it succesfully renders video on to a cube using webGL.
Is it possible for instead of using a video I would like to use a live feed from a webcam without using frameworks like Three.js?
The code below reads from the webcam into HTMLVideoElement how to convert it into texture so I can map it to my vertices in raw WebGL?
function setupVideo(url) {
const video = document.createElement('video');
var playing = false;
var timeupdate = false;
video.autoplay = true;
video.muted = true;
video.loop = true;
// Waiting for these 2 events ensures
// there is data in the video
video.addEventListener('playing', function() {
playing = true;
checkReady();
}, true);
video.addEventListener('timeupdate', function() {
timeupdate = true;
checkReady();
}, true);
navigator.getUserMedia = ( navigator.getUserMedia ||
navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
navigator.mozGetUserMedia ||
navigator.msGetUserMedia);
var hasUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia ? true : false;
console.log(hasUserMedia);
// Prefer camera resolution nearest to 1280x720.
var constraints = { audio: true, video: { width: 640, height: 360 } };
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints)
.then(function(mediaStream) {
video.srcObject = mediaStream;
video.onloadedmetadata = function(e) {
};
})
.catch(function(err) { console.log(err.name + ": " + err.message); }); // always check for errors at the end.
video.play();
function checkReady() {
if (playing && timeupdate) {
copyVideo = true;
}
}
return video;
}
