Detailed Description

APIs to access the world camera data.

Magic Leap 2 has three world cameras which it uses for environment tracking. The three cameras area located on the left, center, and right side of the headset. This API will provide a way to query for the frames from these world cameras, at this point the app will not be able to configure the world camera parameters.

\experimental This is an experimental API which may be modified or removed without any prior notice.

Functions Documentation

MLWorldCameraSettingsInit

static inline void MLWorldCameraSettingsInit(
    MLWorldCameraSettings * inout_handle
)

Initialize the camera settings structure. Shall be called before calling MLWorldCameraConnect().

Parameters


MLWorldCameraSettings *	inout_handle	MLWorldCameraSettings structure to initialize.

Required Permissions:

None

API Level:

MLWorldCameraDataInit

static inline void MLWorldCameraDataInit(
    MLWorldCameraData * inout_world_camera_data
)

Initialize MLWorldCameraData with version.

Parameters


MLWorldCameraData *	inout_world_camera_data	Set up the version for inout_world_camera_data.

API Level:

MLWorldCameraConnect

MLResult MLWorldCameraConnect(
    const MLWorldCameraSettings * settings,
    MLHandle * out_handle
)

Connect to world cameras.

Parameters


const MLWorldCameraSettings *	settings	A pointer to MLWorldCameraSettings structure.
MLHandle *	out_handle	A pointer to camera handle to be used in later APIs.

Returns


MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	One of the parameters is invalid.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Connected to camera device(s) successfully.
MLResult	MLResult_PermissionDenied	Necessary permission is missing.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	The operation failed with an unspecified error.

Required Permissions:

android.permission.CAMERA (protection level: dangerous)

API Level:

MLWorldCameraUpdateSettings

MLResult MLWorldCameraUpdateSettings(
    MLHandle handle,
    const MLWorldCameraSettings * settings
)

Update the world camera settings.

Parameters


MLHandle	handle	Camera handle obtained from MLWorldCameraConnect.
const MLWorldCameraSettings *	settings	Pointer to MLWorldCameraSettings.

Returns


MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	Invalid handle.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Settings updated successfully.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed due to internal error.

Required Permissions:

None

API Level:

MLWorldCameraGetLatestWorldCameraData

MLResult MLWorldCameraGetLatestWorldCameraData(
    MLHandle handle,
    uint64_t timeout_ms,
    MLWorldCameraData ** out_data
)

Poll for Frames.

Parameters


MLHandle	handle	Camera handle obtained from MLWorldCameraConnect.
uint64_t	timeout_ms	Timeout in milliseconds.
MLWorldCameraData **	out_data	World camera data. Will be set to NULL if no valid data is available at this time.

Returns


MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	Invalid handle.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	World camera data fetched successfully.
MLResult	MLResult_Timeout	Returned because no new frame available at this time.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed due to internal error.

Required Permissions:

None

Returns MLWorldCameraData with this latest data when available. The memory is owned by the system. Application should copy the data it needs to cache and release the memory by calling MLWorldCameraReleaseCameraData.

This is a blocking call. API is not thread safe.

If there are no new camera frames within the timeout_ms duration then the API will return MLResult_Timeout.

API Level:

MLWorldCameraReleaseCameraData

MLResult MLWorldCameraReleaseCameraData(
    MLHandle handle,
    MLWorldCameraData * world_camera_data
)

Releases specified MLWorldCameraData object.

Parameters


MLHandle	handle	Camera handle obtained from MLWorldCameraConnect.
MLWorldCameraData *	world_camera_data	Pointer to a valid MLWorldCameraData object.

Returns


MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Successfully released world camera data.
MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	world_camera_data parameter was not valid (NULL).
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed due to internal error.

Required Permissions:

None

This function should be called exactly once for each successfull call to #MLWorldCameraGetLatestCameraData.

MLWorldCameraDisconnect

MLResult MLWorldCameraDisconnect(
    MLHandle handle
)

Disconnect from world camera.

Parameters


MLHandle	handle	Camera handle obtained from MLWorldCameraConnect.

Returns


MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	Invalid handle.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Disconnected camera successfully.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed to disconnect camera.

Required Permissions:

None

This will disconnect from all the world camera currently connected.
