Realtime webcam to Ascii converter in Flex2/AS3
January 19th, 2007
So I’ve been spending some downtime converting some old projects to AS3, one of which is an old Webcam to Ascii experiment.
While it worked OK in AS2 it was pretty lacking in the speed department, meaning you couldn’t convert at any great resolution (about 20*20 ascii ‘pixels’ was tops). In AS3 however it’s a whole different story, as this demo shows …
(click the image to launch, latest FP9 & a webcam required, right click to go fullscreen)
Oh yeah, cheers Tink for the Flex help, it’s clever this Flex stuff, init?!
i have been trying this for ever.
this is AWESOME!
are you planning on posting the source?
i want to convert videos like this, not
just do streaming webcams…

@swider – works fine here, may just have to go into the flash preferences and select the correct camera?
