AsciiCam

Ascii video output from your webcam in your terminal.

TODO

  • Adjust width and height of capturing frame.
  • Custom ASCII charset via config file
  • Brightness/contrast adjustment.
  • Reverse video - Invert brightness \rightarrow charset mapping
  • Color output - Extract U/V channels, map to ANSI/RGB codes
  • Add feature to record and save it in popular video formats like .mp4, .mov and .gif.
  • Dithering effect.
  • A producer/consumer split with pthread_mutex + pthread_cond and a double-buffer swap would decouple them: one thread talks exclusively to V4L2, the other does ASCII conversion and writes.
  • Migrate from C to Cpp.
