Camera

Swift camera utilities with depth/disparity capture and portrait mode effects.

This library is designed around exposing unique camera features such as:

• Displaying a realtime preview of depth and portrait mode data from the camera
• A custom asset writer that can save depth/disparity data in the same file as standard video data.
• A video player with depth and portrait mode built-in.

Setting up a camera preview

The CameraEffectView will display camera data in real-time with the given previewMode. The previewMode can be one of .normal, .depth or .portrait.

// Configure CameraEffectView
let cameraView = CameraEffectView()
let camera = Camera()
cameraView.camera = camera

// Set the preview mode (options are .normal, .depth or .portrait)
cameraView.previewMode = .portrait

// Configure camera
camera.depth = false
camera.position = .back
camera.resolution = .hd720p

Camera.requestCameraPermissions { success in
  if !success {
    fatalError("Missing required camera permissions")
  }
  camera.setupCameraCaptureSession { result in
    if case let .failure(error) = result {
      fatalError("Failed to set up camera: \(error)")
    }
    camera.startPreview()
  }
}

Playing videos with embedded depth data

This library uses EffectPlayerView from VideoEffects. See the documentation of that library for more details.

The DepthBlurFilter is a custom filter for EffectPlayerView that let's you play video with depth effects.

Use it like this:

let playerView = EffectPlayerView()
playerView.effects = EffectConfig(
  filters: [
    DepthBlurFilter(
      videoTrack: videoTrack,
      disparityTrack: depthTrack,
      previewMode: .portrait
    ),
  ]
)

See the example app in Player-example for full implementation details.

Running the example app

Open the workspace Camera.xcworkspace and run the target Camera-example or Player-example.
