How to obtain the absolute shoot time

Thanks for the great project. I tried to export it as EXR format and am able to read the relative shoot time of each frame using the key "frameTimestamps" in the JSON file. I wonder if it is possible to obtain the absolute shoot time of each frame. Thank you very much.

Hi,

thank you for using Record3D :)! The frame timestamps provided by Record3D are relative to the timestamp of first frame provided by the camera, which itself is relative to the time since device startup. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a way how to relate the absolute ("real") time to the device's boot time.

If anyone reading this has any idea how to do this correctly (i.e. obtain the absolute/real time of device's start-up) please let me know and I will try to implement it into Record3D.
