We’ve just made a new ZuzuBooth build that adds 2 big features:
Chrome-less mode
We’ve added the feature to hide the ZuzuBooth chrome entirely so it can be easily integrated in more designs. This feature effectively removes the background and re-sizes the web-cam area according to the size of the flash area but keeping the ratio from the desired resolution. This new feature can be activated by setting the fullScreenMode flash var to 1 in the HTML code. By default it is set to 0.
Enabling fullScreenMode will also hide the buttons, so the JavaScript API will have to be used in order to take photos and access the settings.
Here’s an example of how it looks with the default picture resolution (640×480) and a grey background:
Overlay
You now can show overlay’s over the webcam feed. These can be used to position the desired snap. Common overlays are the 3×3 grid or the portrait overlay. The overlay will not be part of the final saved snapshot.
This new feature is controlled by the new showOverlay flash var to 1. By default it is disabled (set to 0). The overlay is made to work in tandem with chrome-less enabled (&fullScreenMode=1), although it can also be enabled while in normal mode, but the image that is used for the overlay will need adjustments in order to fit better.
ZuzuBooth build 107 also ships with a face overlay seen below (400×400 face-overlay.png). To use your own overlay just delete our overlay and rename yours to face-overlay.png .
Here is how it looks, in chrome-less mode, with the default overlay activated, when taking a square snapshot:
Bug fixes:
- We’ve fixed this important issue: When 2 or more web-cams were connected to the computer the final snapshot was mostly white and the captured image was very small in the top left corner.
