Okay that actually makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure why I thought an iframe was necessary |
|
The detectrtc.js library you found seems to be a bit heavy for our use case. Perhaps it's as simple as checking for the existence of |
| this.videoElement.width = this.iframeElement.width; | ||
| this.videoElement.height = this.iframeElement.height; | ||
| this.videoElement.width = '100%'; | ||
| this.videoElement.height = '100%'; | ||
| this.videoElement.controls = false; |

Make sure this code only runs in a DOM environment (wrap it in an if statement that checks for the existence of the document object)
|
You're right, I can add a check that the document actually exists. I was thinking it might also be good to check if the DOM exists before registering the LiveVideoRealityLoader (that way Argon won't even try to use the LiveVideoRealityLoader in non-DOM environments). |
No, don't do that. The LIveVideoRealityLoader is used in argon-app, which is a non-DOM environment. |
Okay. I'll just add the check to the constructor.
I agree the DetectRTC library is pretty heavy and I'm not sure that I want to use it. The issue with testing the existence of getUserMedia is that it might exist but not actually provide any useful functionality. For example, on my desktop the function exists, but since there are no webcams or microphones connected to my desktop I can't get any MediaStream objects with getUserMedia. So really there are two different things we need to test for: does the browser provide an implementation of getUserMedia, and, if it does, does the hardware actually have any cameras available. The first one is easy to test but the second one seems a little more complicated. There's also the issue that even if a webcam exists, the user might not give the app permission to use it, so getUserMedia will not return a MediaStream in that case either. |

Why was this jspmPackage flag removed?
I think I updated my jspm installation at some point during development, which might also explain why the entire file was overwritten. I can add the flag back in |

Worked with @jv776 @DaoGatech to get video reality on web browsers
