Hello,<br>
<br>
A typical video chat application would contain some view finder code similar to<br>
the example in the Working Draft document:<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>On a related note, another requirement for a view finder window in a chat application would be to horizontally flip the self view video stream, so the user sees a mirror image. I'm not sure where this might fit in the proposed APIs.</div>
<div>Further, it could be useful to provide a way to query the video source as to whether the camera is oriented relative to the screen (if the underlying system knows; consider a phone device with both a main camera and self-view camera). This is needed to drive the decision on whether to do this horizontal flip or not. In fact, such an application may want to somehow indicate a preference for the self-view camera when multiple cameras are present in the selection list. c.f. a movie-making app which would prefer the outward facing camera</div>
