We just published our first asset at the asset store. It’s called Camera Capture Kit and is meant for capturing still photos and images on your phone.
Using the plugin you can trigger things such as Flash, Auto flash, Torch, Focus, Anti-shake these will help make the image quality sharper. ( iOS / Android )
The asset contains a Camera Demo App demonstrating that can be used as a quick copy/paste starting point for integrating a camera like functionality using Unity UI.
We build the CameraCaptureKit around WebCamTexture as extensions to it so if you have a project using WebCamTexture to do similar functionality you can use the WebCamTexture plugin to toggle things like Flash and Focus.
Feel free to write me your feedback and suggestions - If you have a project were you want to integrate this feel free to contact us for help and support .
If anyone else has the same problem as misterjbam ? Please dont hessitate to write us and we will get back to you with an updated version of the plugin for download via WWW , We just send an updated version to the Appstore that includes adjusting ISO as well as setting exposure compensation.
If you had problems with the demo’s there is as well some minor fixes to the OnGUI demo which seemed to have problems adjusting the texture on device.

Hi Leo , yes you can customize the UI , the package features a Prefab with the UI can edit that prefab entirely to suit your own purpose. There is a very simple example I made for taking a photo and putting a beard on it.
We just updated Camera Capture Kit with a fix to the problem misterjbam was experiencing as well as adding minor fixes to the OnGUI example. Some people requested that we add some support for doing ISO adjustments as well as exposure compensation for both iOS and Android. The functionality of adjusting exposure/ISO can be turned on/off in the Camera UI in case you need it or not.
We just found an issue in the plugin that sometimes occurs in some Android projects with conflicting plugins, essentially if you implement a custom manifest with another Activity overriding the default Unity one you might stumble into problems, we will make a an update as soon as possible with this fix along with some extra material for the asset. If you are having issues like this one please don’t hessitate to write to us and we will send you an updated WIP version of the CameraCaptureKit ( 1.1.2 )
We are going to send a update with a couple of bug fixes for Android as well as some extended functionality for saving a photo to the PhotoAlbum this week. If anyone other tha Realidade is in urgent need of such functionality please don’t hessitate to mail us and we will send you the development branch .
We just released an update 1.2 featuring new functionality
Ability to save photos to the photoalbum and the disk of the device.
Photo quality is also improved. (Android)
Bug fixes when flash is enabled for Android.
We got a request for providing an Android APK as a demo , this will be uploaded to either a dropbox account or google play sometime this week. If someone has any other requests please feel free to write us and we will consider implementing it into the package, now or later.
Some people have requested to be able to control the orientation of the camera more closely when working with the camera in the project.
I have decided to add the functionality to rotate the camera even through the rest of the app is locked to landscape or portrait. Also we will be adding two modes for taking the pictures HighQualityMode and QuickPhotoMode.
We will also be looking into getting flash to work on Windows Phone. This is not going to be in the next update however we want to let you know that we’re working on it.
We’re proud to say that “Camera Capture Kit” has been used in the game called “Get-it” which is now on iTunes. The game is made by small team in the Netherlands called Forrest Owl Productions.
The game is quite unique idea where you have to guess the content on the photo.
Does this asset support a usb camera connected to Android? I’ve been looking for a way to get the live video from a usb camera connected to an Android device on a Webcam texture.
Thanks
