Yaky@slrpnk.nettoOpen Source@lemmy.ml•PhotonCamera: Android Camera that uses Enhanced image processing
2·
10 days agoTried it on an older Pixel with GrapheneOS.
Can’t zoom, can’t switch to wide-angle lens. Camera does not balance brightness by the focus point. Otherwise pictures look pretty much the same.
I suppose this was made for specific devices in mind?
TBH I don’t even understand why Android Auto needs to exist in the first place.
The same (or even better) functionality can be achieved by using a standard video output (DisplayPort, HDMI) from the device to the in-car screen, while the touches on the in-car screen can be translated into USB mouse position and clicks on the device (unless there is a better touch protocol).
I know there are regulations about live video on in-car screens, but 1. That does not stop people from watching videos on their phones while driving and 2. Somehow that does not apply to maps?
