A lab report by Karim Arem
a. Link to a video of your HelloYou sketch running.
a. Compare helloYou/server.js and IDD-Fa18-Lab7/pictureServer.js. What elements had to be added or changed to enable the web camera? (Hint: It might be good to know that there is a UNIX command called diff that compares files.)
The difference here is that we had to install and include the node-webcam package and set up a global variable initializing the webcam with certain options such as the picture quality, size etc.
b. Include a video of your working video doorbell
a. Find, install, and try out a node-based library and try to incorporate into your lab. Document your successes and failures (totally okay!) for your writeup. This will help others in class figure out cool new tools and capabilities.
In my implementation, I installed the jimp package. With this package, I was able to read and load the image that was captured and modify it so that I could imnprove the quality of the picture while making the picture better and including a greyscale filter to this picture.
b. Upload a video of your working modified project
