I wrote a program that turns the feed it receives from your webcam in ASCII art. It's open source: you can find the code on Github.

Correct, it may not work on mobile because the font size is 6pt and the line may be too wide for a phone. That's something I should fix. The exposure, however, probably just needs a slider to increase or decrease what is considered black.

Thanks for the honest feedback :)

Works on my iPhone

As others have mentioned, the line width makes it not work so well on mobile, even when putting it into landscape mode.

On desktop though it works. Until I leaned forwards and the undefineds start flying outwards from me.

Very neat project though!!

Now how can i direct this into a Teams or Zoom call. Make it Matrix style and that’ll be even more fun
