I have to ask why ?

You could easily replicate this with a canvas after taking a picture.

In fact, I want to capture the camera in real time and divide it on the screen

I need an extension for the inventor app that captures the image from the camera and shows it on the screen in real time. But it needs to show duplicate, one on one half of the screen and another on the other half.

You might have a look at the source code for the Procam extension for ideas.

I am not sure if it is possible to duplicate the live feed from the camera, though.
