How to use the camera...

I’m trying out to use the camera in a game, where what ever is in the shutter of the camera is the background in the game. Sort of like an AR game but not fully like them.

if I use media.show( media.Camera) then it launches the camera on top of my images and I want it as a background.

How do I overlay images on top of the camera view and hide all the camera buttons as I have no use for them?

I was also looking for a way to do this, but from what I have found, it doesn’t seem possible with the current camera APIs.

Can someone please confirm this, or better yet, tell me I’m wrong?
If this is the case, is it on the roadmap to include the ability to do this?

We have to wait until Corona has support for this, I was testing an AR game idea but I put it up on my “future project” shelf for now. I’ll keep my eyes open for the custom camera API. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 9755 reply_id: 46095[/import]
