#libobscura grand opening!

Libobscura is a friendly library to use cameras on Linux.

At least that's the goal.

The objectives are:

- hard to use it wrong
- get a RGB buffer in ten lines of code
- easy to add support for new devices
- no mailing list :P

I want #linuxmobile and other #photo and #video workflows to become easy, and manufacturers to spend less time adding support (hi me 2 years ago).

#libobscura progress: a demo camera app!

So I've proved (some of) the concepts:

- API without segfaults
- zero-copy image passing
- GPU accelerated decoding

Yes, the picture is mirrored upside-down, why do you ask?

Next: clean up #GPU abstractions and publish a website.

#libobscura text #logo - I made another logo for when it's necessary to have a prominent name.

Which one do you like more? The one with blur or without?
