HasciiCam
HasciiCam enables users to publish live ascii video on the
web. It
captures video from a tv card and renders it into ASCII letters,
formatting the output into an html page with a refresh tag, or in a
live ASCII window, or in a simple text file.
The software enables users with a tv card, Linux box, and a
cheap modem line to show
live (h)ascii video which can be viewed without any need for extra
applications, plugins, Java etc.
Hasciicam grabs video using Video4Linux api: gets a YUV422
plane and
uses the luminance component to obtain a grayscale frame, then renders
each frame into hascii using the AA-lib engine, armoring it in a html
with a refresh tag.
