Mobile Batch Creation Requirements

Overview

This document specifies the technical requirements for implementing a mobile-optimized batch object creation interface with camera-first workflow.

Functional Requirements

FR1: Camera Interface

  • FR1.1: Full-screen camera view with minimal UI
  • FR1.2: Quick capture with auto-focus
