unreal.MagicLeapCameraFunctionLibrary

class unreal.MagicLeapCameraFunctionLibrary(outer=None, name='None')

Bases: unreal.BlueprintFunctionLibrary

The MagicLeapCameraFunctionLibrary provides access to the camera capture functionality. Users of this library are able to asynchronously capture camera images and footage to file. Alternatively, a camera image can be captured directly to texture. The user need only make the relevant asynchronous call and then register the appropriate event handlers for the operation’s completion.

classmethod camera_connect(result_delegate)bool

Establishes a connection with the device’s camera. note: A connection will be made automatically upon the first capture call if this is not called first. Calling this function manually allows the developer to control when privilege notifications for this plugin will be activated (if application is being used for the first time).

Parameters

result_delegate (MagicLeapCameraConnect) –

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod camera_disconnect(result_delegate)bool

Disconnects from the device’s camera. note: This function must be called before the application terminates (if the camera has been connected to). Failure to do so will result in the camera connection remaining open (and the camera icon remaining on screen).

Parameters

result_delegate (MagicLeapCameraDisconnect) –

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod capture_image_to_file_async(result_delegate)bool

Initiates a capture image to file task on a separate thread. brief: The newly created jpeg file will have an automatically generated name which is guaranteed to be unique. Upon completion, a successful operation will provide the file path of the newly created jpeg to the FMagicLeapCameraCaptureImgToFile event handler.

Parameters

result_delegate (MagicLeapCameraCaptureImgToFile) – The delegate to be notified once the camera image has been saved to a jpeg file.

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod capture_image_to_texture_async(result_delegate)bool

Initiates a capture image to memory task on a speparate thread. brief: The user should register event handlers for both the success and fail events. Upon completion, a successful operation will provide a dynamically generated texture containing the captured image to the FMagicLeapCameraCaptureImgToTextureSuccess event handler. note: The generated texture will be garbage collected when this app is destroyed.

Parameters

result_delegate (MagicLeapCameraCaptureImgToTexture) – The delegate to be notified once the camera image has been saved to a texture.

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod is_capturing()bool

Gets the capture state of the component.

Returns

True if the component is currently capturing, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod set_log_delegate(log_delegate)bool

Sets the delegate by which the system can pass log messages back to the calling blueprint.

Parameters

log_delegate (MagicLeapCameraLogMessage) – The delegate by which the system will return log messages to the calling blueprint.

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod start_recording_async(result_delegate)bool

Initiates the capturing of video/audio data on a separate thread. note: The system will continue to record video until StopRecordingVideo is called.

Parameters

result_delegate (MagicLeapCameraStartRecording) – The delegate to be notified once the recording has begun or failed to begin.

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool

classmethod stop_recording_async(result_delegate)bool

Stops the recording and saves the video/audio data to an mp4 file. note: The newly created mp4 file will have an automatically generated name which is guaranteed to be unique.

Parameters

result_delegate (MagicLeapCameraStopRecording) – The delegate to be notified once the video/audio data has been saved to an mp4 file.

Returns

True if the call succeeds, false otherwise.

Return type

bool
