The <SkiaCamera /> is a view component that allows rendering Frames with @Shopify/react-native-skia.
This allows fully custom GPU-based processing like effects, shaders, shapes and boxes, and more.
[!DEPENDENCY] The
<SkiaCamera />requires react-native-vision-camera-worklets (and react-native-worklets) and react-native-vision-camera-skia to be installed.
<SkiaCamera />To display a Skia Camera, mount the view and implement the onFrame(...) function to simply render the Frame:
function App() {
return (
<SkiaCamera
style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
device="back"
isActive={true}
onFrame={(frame, render) => {
'worklet'
// ... custom Frame processing logic
render(({ frameTexture, canvas }) => {
// ... custom drawing operations
canvas.drawImage(frameTexture, 0, 0)
})
frame.dispose()
}}
/>
)
}
Since you are in full control over rendering, you can run frame-by-frame analysis and conditionally render contents or overlays such as accurate bounding boxes over QR codes or faces, or custom shaders for visual effects.
[!TIP] See "Skia Frame Processors" for more information.
