I saw this great AS3 library yesterday (Asciify) and came up with another demonstration of the library. Web camera images that is transformed to ASCII art at real time. It is my first Flex application so I kept it real simple. To run the application you have to have a webcam attached to your computer. I have only tested this on various Mac’s so do not know how it will be displayed on other platforms, but it should be the same.
Known problems:
- Sometimes the Flash Player wont use the right camera driver. If you do not get any result, right click the window and go to settings. Here, click on the webcam tab and choose another cam driver. I use the USB cam driver on both my macs (iMac and MacBook Pro).
- I found out that beeing in a dimly lit room got the best result. In a very light room, I do not get the result I wantet. Will probably apply a filter that will dim the images a bit.
