📸 Iris Camera

A Premium, Privacy-First Web Camera Experience

Welcome to Iris Camera, a beautifully crafted, offline-first web application that turns any browser into a high-performance camera. Built with a cozy, minimalist glassmorphic aesthetic and a deeply robust Vanilla JavaScript architecture, Iris ensures that your moments are captured with zero latency and absolute privacy.

📐 The Architecture: Client-Side Perfection

By avoiding heavy component frameworks, this application achieves instant load times and seamless hardware interaction.

• Native WebRTC API: Directly hooks into the device's media stream for hardware-accelerated video capture, frame extraction, and live filtering without lag.
• 100% Offline & Private: Zero server uploads, zero telemetry, and no backend databases. Every photo is processed, rendered, and downloaded entirely locally on the user's device.
• Vanilla Architecture: Built purely with structural HTML, advanced CSS3, and highly efficient Vanilla JS to eliminate dependency bloat and complex state management overhead.
• Premium Glassmorphic UI: Features a cozy, ethereal interface with dynamic blur effects, smooth state transitions, and carefully weighted drop shadows that make the browser feel like a native premium OS application.

✨ Core Features

• Instant Capture: Zero-shutter-lag photography utilizing raw video track data.
• Camera Switching: Seamlessly toggle between front-facing and environment (rear) lenses on mobile devices.
• Local Storage Optimization: Instantly converts raw canvas data into optimized image formats for immediate, secure downloading.
• Responsive Viewfinder: The viewfinder dynamically scales and crops to ensure a perfect aspect ratio across mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.

🚀 Quick Start & Deployment

Because Iris is an offline-first, client-side application, it requires zero build steps, compilers, or local backend servers.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/unskyit/iris-camera.git

2. Launch: Simply open index.html in any modern web browser.
3. Permissions Note: For the WebRTC API to function, browsers require the site to be served over HTTPS or localhost. If testing on a mobile device on your local network, use a lightweight local server (like VS Code's Live Server) and access it via your local IP.
