Hacking Can someone make a Joycon camera utilization demo, or has Nintendo not enabled it in the firmware ye

I'm curious about the quality of it.

Labo uses the camera for almost everything

I know. I'm talking about homebrew. I don't think there has been a demonstration of the camera yet. Aka a live view of what it sees, or images snapped by it.

And the first video in the article shows you exactly what the camera shows you (at minute 1). Anyway its just a simple IR Camera if you ever saw night vision it looks like that

Thanks. A homebrew camera app would still be cool.

pretty sure its just an IR camera

it can be seen in this Nintendo Labo video(beginning from 0:54):


if you're able to run Switch homebrew, you can compile this libnx example, which shows the image taken by the IR camera: https://github.com/switchbrew/switch-examples/tree/master/hid/irsensor

Nice, the first useful post in this thread. All of the answers didn't understand the question or couldn't answer it (but made an answer nontheless).
One minigame of 1-2-switch used the camera for the first time, so it's avaible since release.
My "labo remote controlled car" remake homebrew uses the IR camera in the joy con, too: https://gbatemp.net/threads/labo-like-remote-controlled-vehicle-made-with-joy-cons.498861/

Someone posted a picture of this somewhere on the forums. I can't remember who or what though. @Memoir, do you happen to know?

You are the hombrew user representative of the switch scene you know everything about it jk

 

[Nekukun97]

Use this homebrew.

 

[gbazone]

Thanks @Nekukun97! I wonder if we can make it full screen. I'm assuming that's the native resolution of the camera, which is very bad :/

The image is in the original resolution of the camera- It's rotated 90° in addition to that.

 

[guily6669]

Jeez I thought it wouldn't be worse than 3ds...

Well at least gives you night vision lol but with that small LEDs I'm sure it won't see further than a few meters at night.

Use this homebrew.

So uh, any source code for that?

It's in the Joy-Con Toolkit for PC now as well.
