ASCIICam
September 2025
ASCIICam is a Java-based project that transforms your webcam feed into real-time ASCII art, displayed directly in your terminal. By capturing live video frames from your webcam, ASCIICam analyzes the brightness of each pixel and maps it to a corresponding ASCII character, creating a dynamic, text-based visualization of your environment.
This approach not only gives a retro, artistic feel to your video stream but also demonstrates how image processing and character mapping can be combined in Java. ASCIICam is ideal for those interested in creative coding, terminal art, or learning about basic image manipulation and webcam integration in Java.
