ASCII to Video

The main idea of this this project is to take advantage of the navigator.getUserMedia provided by WebRTC to convert a stream from the video camera to an ASCII representation.

You just have to place yourself in front of your computer's camera and see the result being displayed on an ASCII representation.

The character set that I chose is #@%OHLTI)i=+;:,. . But you can try changing these constants in the code to output different effects.

How to run
