Is a project that bring augmented reality experience to end users in the simplest way possible

After a long time to be developing in the background, finally present my most ambitious project Carnival LiveCam. Carnival LiveCam can capture images from multiple sources (webcams, video files, image files), and apply various effects such as effects of rain, fire, masks, 3D effects and 2D of all kinds. And also can take pictures and record video. Carnival LiveCam is still in an early stage of development (Alpha), but it shows many of the features that are able to offer. Is the ideal time to join the the development. Carnival LiveCam is licensed under GPLv3 and hosted on github.
The design of Carnival LiveCam is thought to be completely modular and is very easy to expand the program by using plugins based on QtPlugin system, so far the types of plugins available are:
At the bottom center of Carnival LiveCam can see the control bar, from left to right the controls are:
One of the most important fetures of Carnival LiveCam is the ability to show many capture devices, modify it's position and apply several effects at same time. Is also possible to interact with some effects using a mouse or any pointer device.
The another most important fetures is the Effects selection dialog. Here you can select what effects will be applied to each capture device.
Here we see one of the configuration dialogs of a driver in this case the driver of images. With a simple design intended for an point&click experience.
To obtain a copy of Carnival LiveCam and start working on the project, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/hipersayanX/Carnival-LiveCam.git
To compile and run Carnival LiveCam run the following command:
cd Carnival-LiveCam
qmake
make
To compile and run Carnival LiveCam need the following software packages:
May be you can compile and use Carnival LiveCam with an older versions of the recommended software, I don't know. The environment in which I am currently developing Carnival LiveCam is Arch Linux x86_64. The packages needed by Arch Linux are:
yaourt -S qt openscenegraph opencv ffmpeg ffmpegthumbnailer qxmpp git
In principle, the base of the program is almost finished, so far there are only 3 effects available for trial, which give a small sample of what can be done with the program, a effect that shows how to integrate OpenSceneGraph with Carnival LiveCam for create 3D effects, one showing how to use OpenCV to create effects based on face detection, and finally one that shows how to perform simple 2D effects. Then there are available a basic driver to capture images from your webcam, and another 2 to capture images from image files and video. And finally the shell designed in QML. From what we have left to do:
In general, if you know how to use Git then you know how to collaborate with the project. Just clone the repository and start working on your copy and when you have everything up and running do a push request. Here I leave some links on how to use Git:
And if anyone is interested in participating in the project is welcome :D
