[Q] [Request/Brainstorm] Speedometer Camera Overlay - Nexus One Themes and Apps

First - Thanks to everyone on these boards for their endless efforts to improve our devices and Android as a whole.
I would like to know if it would be possible to create an app that would overlay a GPS Speedometer over the video camera while the camera is recording video. So as you are recording a video from your window mounted N1 you can also see how fast you were traveling. I am attending a driving school at a local track in the near future and would like to record video of the laps and see the speed I'm traveling at different points on the track. I know there are free GPS apps available and obviously we can record video, but is there a way to combine the two in a kind of augmented reality app?
I would be grateful for any input. I know nothing of programming myself, but I'm willing to learn if someone can help me get started in the right direction.
Thanks

Time shift video recorder

Hi
I'm looking for a video recorder app that time shifts, ie it videos a continous maybe 10 min loop and then when the record button is pressed it saves maybe the previous minute, this would enable you to catch scenes such as whales breaching or a car crash at the races etc. (the Highway Police have a similar system so when they turn the lights and siren on the previous 30 seconds of the video is captured so they have evidence of the offence.), does one exist or any ideas on how to achieve a similar result
Thanks
Keith
Cool idea! And if anyone is at this, Im interested in an app that captures high fps videos. Like slow motion
search for 'blackbox' on the play store.

Thanks I've downloaded blackbox and will have a play with it.

[APP] Audio Trigger Beta

This project was abandoned. Further reading for reference.

SferaDev, this looks awesome! I know its only in early stages, but its a great start. Really nice work
Thanks for the recognition too ;p
Would be quite interested in helping with this drop me a PM

The popular camera app - Camera FX Zoom - has this feature and i have been using it regularly.
Actally i have a suggestion. How about trigger the audio recording when there is louder sound. That will be useful whenever i fight with my boyfriend
Or how about make it generic, make it a Tasker plugin so that we can decide what to do when louder sound is detected. I will definitely buy it (up to $5) if such a Tasker plugin is available.
Good luck

The idea is that when he detects the sound he makes the photo and shows a preview and you select if you wanna save it !

Camera Zoom Fx it's a Camera Api not based in Googles one, so its compatible with Audio Trigger ! When doing the photo it asks what to use !

Hi hotelier1984!
I love your idea of recording audio during capture! Could produce some awesome results.
The main difference between this and a sound trigger in a app like CameraZoomFX would be the speed of capture. The original idea stems from use of two different apps. I'll quote the original thread for more info:
Hi Everyone!
My names Mike, and I'm an artist working in the UK. I've had an idea for an art project for quite some time now, and in the process of working through the details I believe a component of it could be solved using an Android Application. The idea for the application would be to have a camera that is always at the ready and will snap a picture every time a certain level of audio input is reached. Now, this will be slightly different to your average 'Audio Trigger' in the sense that the camera will have to be able to take pictures at an incredibly fast pace. Two, three, four or more a second if possible.
Obviously, Ive done a bit of research to see if there are any applications available that could do the job without any alterations. There are a few apps that come close.
The first is 'Fast Burst Camera'
This is an amazingly quick camera application capable of taking photos in the region of 30fps at 1280x720. (I'm guessing this uses some sort of modified video camera function?) Setting this to Full Manual mode allows for amazing capture speed, taking photos as fast as you can hit the shutter button. Perfect!
The second is 'Sensor Camera'
This app has perfect control over the sound meter levels for the 'Audio Trigger'. Allowing you to set a watch value at 10db increments. The only drawback is the use of full resolution shots, making the capture rate far to low.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to combine the two functionalities into one application? Whether this would be possible in terms of processor speed and hardware?
I know the commercial appeal for this functionality would be almost non-existent, but for the use in this project it would be perfect! I've emailed the respective developers of each application, without much interest.
If anyone is interested please let me know. This is for a non-profit art project, so it would be great if people wanted to donate their time, but I would also be happy to pay. The app would not be used commercially at my end, only for the work in the project.
If you've made it this far, thank you for your time
Mike.

Ok then as I'm stucked I'll post a mindstorm.
For Audio Trigger Sound detection we have two options.
1. Start recording and when the mic detects a higher dB makes a ACTION.
Problem: We don't want to save the recording. Requires too much space !
2. Use the Voice Commands API from Google.
Problem: We wanna hear a word not a command !
Thanks in advance !

[Q] reading part of live video from camera

we have an idea for a very useful android/mobile application. this application would read a portion of live video captured from the camera. once the portion of the video is read/recognized, it would perform an action based on what it saw/read. does anyone have any direction on components available to pick apart the video? it would need to look for a shape / pattern in the video and extract it.
thanks in advance.

Live photo option for Pixel 3? In dire need!!! Please help! with sound!

Hi,
First off just want to say I am a long time XDA fan from way back to windows mobile and I am in a bit of a crisis state currently. I have always been anti apple and drank the android phone coolaid forever but I am struggling currently because I have a very strong desire for the live photo feature. (Video before and after every picture I take WITH audio) I know the pixels have motion photo and all that but without sound it is so much less. I have found that camera MX supports this but google photos doesn't detect the live photo aspect of the picture to upload it.
Everyone around me thinks I am going crazy causing I am thinking of putting up with all the things I hate about apple just for the live photo feature. The camera is my number one used item on the phone so that is why I would think of switching. I am a Dad of 3 and love these short videos and take way to may pictures.
Is anyone aware of a way to get google photos to detect camera MX's live shots? Or get audio on google motion photos? Or some other app that can do this?
Not sure if this is posted in the right spot so mods please move if needed...

[APP] [Gaming] Glip Game Replay Recorder - Record most recent 60s of gameplay and share clips with friends

Hi all,
We have been working on a while on our app for gamers.
Glip Wallet & Screen Recorder - Apps on Google Play
Play games & earn crypto! Record at 60 fps with in-game mic & audio and no lag.
play.google.com
First of all, I would like to mention that Glip is not a normal screen recorder. Glip is a Replay Recorder which means we record continuously but clips are only saved when some awesome moment happens in your gameplay. (Like Shadowplay on PC). The app is completely free without any ads.
When a cool moment happens in your gameplay, just tap a button and it will save the most recent 60s of your gameplay.
- No impact on your device storage. Save only meaningful moments instead of recording your complete game session and then finding and trimming moments from complete recording
- Better performance than typical screen recorders. Since we are not writing to file system continuously, we have much better performance than standard screen recorders or in built screen recorder of your phone. Typically, we take 1-2% of your device's CPU when gaming.
- You can save your best moments in our cloud library. Unlimited storage and your clips will be saved forever. You can also share links to your clips easily with your friends.
- Mic recording is supported on all android versions. Internal audio recording on Android 10+ devices. In next release, we will also be adding camera overlay with the recorder along with many exciting features.
Thanks, Looking forward to the feedback and bugs/ feature requests if any.
We have a desktop app also to record clips from PC and instantly getting clips onto your phone. When you tap the hotkey on your PC, clip gets added to your library and will be visible on your phone. Much easier to share clips with friends than the typical flow of compressing video and then uploading to some hosting website.
