Can Brilliant Labs apps access the camera and microphone?
Access depends on the exact device, SDK and execution environment. Sensor hardware and an application API are different requirements. Start with the documentation for the operation you need rather than inferring access from a product photograph.
Request one input deliberately
Build a minimal capture flow with a clear start, stop and result. That establishes whether the chosen development route can obtain the intended input and how permission is handled. It also keeps a sensor-access problem separate from later analysis or display problems.
For an image feature, first obtain an allowed sample through the documented API and confirm which image the app received. Only then ask a model to interpret it. An incorrect answer can otherwise come from the wrong input, not necessarily the model's reasoning.
