Here we set up a panel which displays the device webcam.
import Cocoa
import AVFoundation
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
var panel: NSPanel!
var videoPreviewLayer:AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer!
var captureSession:AVCaptureSession!
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
let screenRect:CGRect = NSScreen.main()!.frame
panel = NSPanel(
contentRect: NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: screenRect.width/2, height: screenRect.height/2),
styleMask: NSWindowStyleMask.nonactivatingPanel,
backing: NSBackingStoreType.buffered,
defer: false
)
let lvl_key:CGWindowLevelKey = CGWindowLevelKey.maximumWindow
let lvl:CGWindowLevel = CGWindowLevelForKey(lvl_key)
panel.level = Int(lvl)
panel.orderFront(nil)
captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
captureSession.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSessionPresetMedium
let webcamCaptureDevice:AVCaptureDevice = AVCaptureDevice.defaultDevice(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo)
let webcamInput:AVCaptureDeviceInput = (try! AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: webcamCaptureDevice))
captureSession.addInput(webcamInput)
let view:NSView = NSView(frame: NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 500, height: 500))
view.wantsLayer = true
videoPreviewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: captureSession) as AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer
videoPreviewLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill
videoPreviewLayer.frame = CGRect(x: -screenRect.width/2, y: 0, width: screenRect.width/2, height: screenRect.height/2)
let viewLayer:CALayer = CALayer()
viewLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 500, height: 500)
viewLayer.addSublayer(videoPreviewLayer)
viewLayer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeScale(-1, 1, 1)
view.layer = viewLayer
panel.contentView = view
captureSession.startRunning()
}
func applicationWillTerminate(_ aNotification: Notification) {
captureSession.stopRunning()
}
}
let app: NSApplication = NSApplication.shared()
let appDelegate: AppDelegate = AppDelegate()
app.delegate = appDelegate
_ = NSApplicationMain(CommandLine.argc, CommandLine.unsafeArgv)
