tobie has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main:

== API to expose the angle of view of a camera ==
**Use case:** an augmented reality app that would layer labels for 
points of interest on top of the video stream of the device's camera. 
In order for the labels to be positioned correctly, it is necessary to
 know the angle of view of the camera.

**Resources:**
- [Wikipedia article on angle of 
view](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view),
- Android `Camera.Parameters` 
[`getHorizontalViewAngle()`](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html#getHorizontalViewAngle())
 and 
[`getVerticalViewAngle()`](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html#getVerticalViewAngle())
 APIs.
