protect your webcam feed from tools that detect your heart rate
Inspiration: https://github.com/thearn/webcam-pulse-detector
Pokerfake works by very slightly varying the image brightness to simulate a pulse, therefore covering up your real heart rate. It's currently just a proof of concept, so don't rely on it.
- sudo apt install v4l2loopback-utils python-opencv
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1
This will set up a virtual /dev/video device to which you can write the faked video stream using pokerfake.py
Example: [videochat-app]<----/dev/video1---[pokerfake.py]<----/dev/video0----[your webcam]
