@jspsych/plugin-initialize-camera

jsPsych is a JavaScript framework for creating behavioral experiments that run in a web browser.

Plugin Description

The initialize-camera plugin asks the participant to grant permission to access the camera. If multiple cameras are connected to the partipicant's device, then it allows the participant to select which camera to use. Once access is granted for an experiment, you do not need to ask again, and the camera can be accessed by the jsPsych.pluginAPI.getCameraRecorder() function.

Examples

Several example experiments and plugin demonstrations are available in the /examples folder. After you've downloaded the latest release, double-click on an example HTML file to run it in your web browser, and open it with a programming-friendly text editor to see how it works.
