Google Glass Camera Autofocus?

Question

I read this article, which claims Google glass can autofocus. However, this code returns false:

getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_AUTOFOCUS)

I could not find a definite answer on Google Glass Tech specs. Does anyone know for sure if the camera can auto focus? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The current Glass camera has a fixed focus, not autofocus. So it would make sense that this returns false.

Like you mentioned, I found GDK issue 303: requesting additional camera focus modes (with auto focus) has been accepted but not yet implemented. Thanks. – Apure

Answer 2

If you run

List<String> FocusModes = params.getSupportedFocusModes();

Then you will get a list of only one focus. It actually only supports

Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_INFINITY
