NatDevice

High Performance, Cross-Platform Media Device Streaming for Unity Engine

Media Devices Made Easy

NatDevice is a cross-platform media device API. NatDevice simplifies your camera and microphone workflows. First, discover a media device:

// Create a device query for a camera device
var filter = MediaDeviceCriteria.CameraDevice;
var query = new MediaDeviceQuery(filter);
// Get the camera device
var device = query.current as CameraDevice;

Then start streaming media data from the device:

// Start streaming camera images
device.StartRunning(OnCameraImage);

void OnCameraImage (CameraImage cameraImage) {
    // Do stuff
    ...
}

From here, you can utilize tons of functionality provided by media devices to build your interactive applications.
