Using mobile device features

Help & Support
1

Hi all,
I am considering using PlayCanvas for my new project. It is aimed for mobile devices only. My project will require two utilities:

  • using device’s build in cameras, previewing image from the cam
  • Bluetooth communication with external device
    I did not find any materials if these functionalities are available with PlayCanvas. Could you please tell me if it is possible?

PlayCanvas does not expose the functionality you describe in the engine itself. Instead, you need to simply leverage the relevant browser APIs:

It looks like the Bluetooth API is still heavily in development. I believe Chrome will debut support first. Check out the status of their current support here:

Looks like you need to enable the feature in chrome://flags

So how would I now call this browser functionality from my project?

The standard web tutorials will work fine.
