XR camera subsystem

The camera subsystem manages a hardware camera on the AR device. It provides the following data:

  • Camera image (as an "external" texture on the GPU).
  • Camera image (as a buffer of bytes available on the CPU).
  • Projection matrix, used to set the field of view and other properties of the virtual camera according to the physical one.
  • Display matrix, used to orient the camera image correctly.
  • Camera intrinsics that describe a mathematical model of the camera, useful for computer vision algorithms.
  • Camera conversion utilities for converting the CPU image to RGB and grayscale.
  • Light estimation information (color and brightness of the environment).
  • Camera focus mode (autofocus or fixed)
