Browser Cross Compatibility about webgazer

[jeffhuang]

can we keep this open until it works on the website? we should propagate the changes to the www files

[jeffhuang]

Hooray! Should we close this issue?

Works for Edge and Opera too. The current version of Safari does not support the getUserMedia API. We will not use the Flash alternative.

I also noticed this recently that it does not work on Safari. Was this looked further into? If not and no one is currently working on this I am happy to look into possibly finding a solution to this @alexpapster

https://caniuse.com/stream getUserMedia is not supported in iOS Safari. But feel free to see if there is any good alternative. I believe only Flash was available when I checked it

[jeffhuang]

so I believe @idaknow was referring to Safari instead of iOS, and it actually looks like Safari now supports getUserMedia according to the link that @alexpapster posted. I tried it with the latest version of Safari 11 and the camera turns on but the thumbnail doesn't show up, so I imagine we have to look into it. Sounds like a great thing to try and fix and then we can officially support it! :-)

[idaknow]

Great, I'll have a look into whether we can integrate OSX Safari 11.
This may be related to issue #29

I have added this in the latest merged pull request - should successfully work on Safari 11. Not sure if this can be closed? Or if we keep this open for the browsers not supported yet by getUserMedia()

[idaknow]

The recent pull of the repository onto the server means it is now working successfully on Safari!
