The Virtual Third-person Augmented Regurgitation Device
This program starts a flask webserver that displays a distorted video of a connected camera
The distortion works in such a way that it can be used with Google Cardboard/Samsung Gear and similar devices
The idea is that you start the server and post camera input to the website, then connect yourself with your phone to show what the camera sees. Connect this to a laptop/raspberry pi/jetson and boom. You, too can experience the sickening exposure to 3rd-person reality.
Here is a simple illustration of the concept:
With this you can do anything you would normally do, just way worse.
Most people don't, you can play around with time delays and such and someone will probably throw up.
- Connect your phone and server to the same network (5GHz, otherwise there's substantial lag)
pip install -r requirements.txt(depending on your setup, you might want to chooseopencv-python-headless)- Change the port of the server in app.py (optional)
python3 app.pywill start the webserver (make sure your camera is connected)- Go to the ip and port of your server on your phone and insert it into the faux-VR headset of your choice
