How it Works

How it Works

  1. It takes input from your webcam and outputs a frame
  2. Converts the coloured frame to greyscale
  3. The Pixels are reassigned a character
  4. Then the characters are joined in a string
  5. Output is printed to the Terminal

The Illusion of Video.

The output it creates isn't actually a rendered video. As soon as the string is printed to the terminal it is also cleared from the terminal immediately and a new frame is printed simultaneously, Thus Creating the illusion of a video.
