webrtc ascii video #6

Open max-mapper opened 9 years ago

max-mapper commented 9 years ago

for video, we can totally do it, but I wouldn't want it to be on by default.

also I was thinking it would be cool to save bandwidth by converting video to ascii (e.g. http://blog.nobel-joergensen.com/2011/11/12/creating-real-time-video-ascii-art-using-kickjs-and-webgl/) and sending the ascii along, rendering it in the corner of the screen. that way you can see if the other person is around, but it's low res enough that it isn't uncomfortable

I've been thinking about this too https://github.com/ideashare/ideas/issues/13

https://asciinema.org is able to capture terminal sessions, and play them back - not sure about live streaming though / asked them about atom.io support here asciinema/asciinema#125

what about https://github.com/merodriguezblanco/ascii-video or VLC's ASCII output

@aerth nice, thats pretty straightforward https://github.com/merodriguezblanco/ascii-video/blob/master/public/script.js#L40-L58
