ASCII Cam

This is very similar to idevelop&#x27;s ascii cam[1]. The code is significantly different though[2]. I first assumed one used code from the other but it looks like separate implementations of the same idea.<p>[1] <a href="http://idevelop.ro/ascii-camera/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;idevelop.ro&#x2F;ascii-camera&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/idevelop/ascii-camera/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;idevelop&#x2F;ascii-camera&#x2F;</a>

I know what thread you got this link from, OP... dirty, dirty, dirty :)

Very cool!<p>I made something similar that runs in your terminal: <a href="https://github.com/dhotson/txtcam" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dhotson&#x2F;txtcam</a>

With cool stuff like this, it makes me wonder about the future of installed apps.<p>If only Android would support &#x27;installation&#x27; of HTML5 apps so there is no browser, shortcut made automatically, ability to &#x27;uninstall&#x27;. Easy to do but would compete with their store and they lose control.

I wonder, why don&#x27;t they use dithering - <a href="http://www.ivank.net/blogspot/dithering/dithering.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ivank.net&#x2F;blogspot&#x2F;dithering&#x2F;dithering.html</a>

A manual brightness &#x2F; contrast control would do wonders. My face was only 2 or 3 different characters&#x2F;densities. Meanwhile the wall behind me is another several.

Reminds me of HasciiCam from 2000: <a href="http://ascii.dyne.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ascii.dyne.org&#x2F;</a>

Great!<p>Pro tip ;-) Click &quot;Stop cam&quot; while making a stupid face and you can copy&#x2F;paste it.

Awesome! Works fine here.
