That is awesome! I was thinking about creating a clone of the SkyView app, as it doesn't work very well here in South Africa. I was wanting to show the camera feed, and then overlay the planets, stars, moon, sun, maybe even satellites. I have to also figure out the relative positions of those bodies with respect to my GPS / Elevation / Compass heading, etc. But I thought it would be quite a fun experiment.

Thank u Gerald! Is your example repo MVVM compliant? I'm not sure, if it is better to implement the OnClick-Event in codebehind or in viewmodel. For example I have a page which collects some data (e.g. PersonDetailPage). One part is an image. For this I like to open a "TakePicturePage". This page is equal to your example. But there are different ways to send this picture from TakePicturePage back to the PersonDetailPage. Do you have an example repo, where this behaviour is explained?

Can the functionality of a camera be utilized to highlight specific sections of an image, in order to analyze them using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software and save the results into a list? For example, to digitize forms.

@@jfversluis amazing tutorial btw I'm currently using it right now. I'm a little confused about observables in MAUI and data binding is a tad confusing but I'm slowly getting there.... I hope. I am running into a null pointer exception sometimes :'(

I am slightly confused by this project. It does not look like a .NET Maui application, I can see traditional "old-school" xmls views (like in Xamarin) but no .razor components or .razor pages with Blazor components as would be expected in a .NET Maui application. What is this project? I though the whole point of .NET Maui is to be able to write cross platform Blazor component based projects. using the tradiinal xmls views kind of defeats the purpose as it is regressive rather than reaping the benefits of Blazor applications.

@@jfversluisAplogies, I meant xaml (autocorrect). We have discontinued Xamarin when doing projects for our clients, and all greenfield project we now do are .NET Maui applications. The project in the video looks like a Xamarin project (it uses Views and XAML markup for the UI), where in .NET Maui applications we use Blazor and thus .razor components, not Views. Hence I cannot see how this video would apply to a .NET Maui Blazor project. I thought sticking to the oldschool Xamarin-style coding defeats the purpose of all the improvements that came with .NET MAui with Blazor.

@@johns4651 OK gotcha, so .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid is not the only option. Our main product it still .NET MAUI based on XAML as you were used to with Xamarin.Forms. Blazor Hybrid is an option and if you prefer that, totally fine, but then you will have to find solutions that will work with that. In this case, the camera view, is very specific to non-Blazor use. If you still want to use it, you can but you'll have to mix it up, see: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJigztxtfr2pYKw.html

​@@jfversluis Thank you for the link, I added it to my "watch later", it looks very useful. For now I've implemented the functionality with standard MediaPicker with Azure Cognitive Services SDK to analyze photographed product labels for text (OCR) and multiple barcodes. It works surprisingly well for a few hours initial work. We have complex requirements where the client will be taking photos of product labels as they arrive into the warehouse and the app would automatically GR them into inventory based on the label photo (of course each supplier has different label format, hence Cognitive Services are very handy as they not only extract text or barcodes but provide positional info or other metadata). The reason I was initially surprised is that our team has grown to hate Xamarin over the years as it was causing no end of issues in real enterprise applications. Yes it was quite revolutionary when it came out but Blazor Maui project are such as step-up in the real world applications that I would not expect anyone to use, de fecto "Xamarin" (dressed up, mind you, as a .NET Maui application) in 2023. When I think .NET Maui app I think Blazor by default. And I think this is Microsoft intention as well, with XAML/view provided primarily for "compatibility" for folks transitioning from Xamarin. Just like EV cars are a step-up to ICE cars. It also so much easier and quicker to code complex projects. Just a personal bias I admit!
