The '''Media Capture API''' is a web standard under development to allow web applications to access the media capture capabilities of a device (typically a [[Engineering:Smartphone|Smartphone]] or other [[Mobile Internet device]]). This would allow a web application to include a function to record audio via the device's microphone, and take a picture or record a video with the device's camera.
