Camera Effects Coordination

[markafoltz]

Session description

Real-time effects applied to camera input such as background blur, face framing, and lighting correction are becoming more available to users through their operating systems, browsers, and other software components. These effects manipulate camera input before it reaches Web applications via getUserMedia().

Web applications that want to use camera input (and possibly apply their own effects) need know when effects are applied and respond accordingly.

Background:

• Explainer with alternative API shape
• https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#def-constraint-backgroundBlur

Thank you for proposing a session!

You may update the session description as needed and at any time before the meeting, but please keep in mind that tooling relies on issue formatting: follow the instructions and leave all headings and other formatting intact in particular. Bots and W3C meeting organizers may also update the description, to fix formatting issues or add links and other relevant information. Please do not revert these changes. Feel free to use comments to raise questions.

Do not expect formal approval; W3C meeting organizers endeavor to schedule all proposed sessions that are in scope for a breakout. Actual scheduling should take place shortly before the meeting.
