This post describes how to take a picture using the HTML Media Capture spec and how to access it programmatically.

We'l briefly talk about how to display it, but will leave upload and storage to further posts.

Describe the differences and advantages of HTML Media Capture over getUserMedia.

Explain the past and (possibly) upcoming changes of the capture attribute and how to write the markup so that it work on all implementations.

Make a video of what the experience looks like on a compliant device so that people understand the beauty of the user flow.
