Did You Know?
The first digital camera was invented by Kodak engineer Steven Sasson in 1975, weighing 8 pounds and capturing black-and-white images at a resolution of just 0.01 megapixels (10,000 pixels). It took 23 seconds to record a single image onto a cassette tape, and another 23 seconds to read and display it on a television screen. Kodak executives were unimpressed, concerned it would threaten their film business. Today, smartphone cameras can capture images at over 100 megapixels—10,000 times the resolution of that first digital camera—and process them instantly.
Technical Insight
Modern browser-based camera applications utilize the MediaDevices Web API, specifically the getUserMedia() method, which was standardized in 2013. This technology enables websites to access device cameras without plugins like Flash. When you grant camera permissions, browsers create a secure, sandboxed connection to your camera hardware. Video processing occurs through WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) protocols, with H.264 being the most common codec. For security, browsers implement strict HTTPS requirements for camera access and provide visual indicators when your camera is active, ensuring transparency and user control.
