Virtual Webcam Setup

This project requires setting up a virtual webcam. Here's how you can achieve this:

Load the v4l2loopback module:

sudo modprobe v4l2loopback

To configure the virtual device, you can run:

sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback && sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=10 card_label="Overlay" exclusive_caps=1 max_buffers=2

To verify the virtual device has been correctly set up, run:

ls -la -1 /sys/devices/virtual/video4linux

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your virtual device listed.

Running the Face-Swap

To run the face-swap on your live webcam feed:

Navigate to the project directory.
Execute the main script: python main.py

This will initiate the face-swapping process on your webcam. Ensure your virtual webcam device is selected as the source in any application you're using.

Notes

The virtual webcam device can be used in software such as video conferencing tools, allowing you to use the face-swap feature in real-time communications.
Ensure the v4l2loopback module is correctly set up before attempting to run the main script.
