Media Capture API
The Media Capture API is a web standard under development to allow web applications to access the media capture capabilities of a 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.
The standard was discontinued by the World Wide Web Consortium in 2012, and is supported in the Android browser. The Media Capture API was replaced by The Media Capture and Streams API
