Description

Potentially using a new getUserMedia shim library?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia#Parameters

Maybe using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/enumerateDevices

Code for this is here:

https://github.com/publiclab/infragram/blob/f6f7919493b5ab9e7cc8fc873f8bddf3ff5f4599/src/io/camera.js#L30-L41

We can apparently also specify different resolutions!

{
  audio: true,
  video: {
    width: { min: 1024, ideal: 1280, max: 1920 },
    height: { min: 776, ideal: 720, max: 1080 }
  }
}

Let's do both!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine src/io/camera.js to understand current camera selection, then integrate MediaDevices.enumerateDevices() and the new constraints syntax for getUserMedia to allow camera selection and resolution settings.
