Hi Andrea, Thanks for checking! I'm sorry it didn't work. I'm just glad to see a third person interested after all these years; Hoping you can evangelize the artistic and performance potential of video feedback methods to the world ( : In my experience every implementation (digital, analog, combo) looks different, and every "user" converges on a unique aesthetic. Perceptron used to support an analog loop via a webcam, but the Java Media Framework for this hasn't worked in over a decade, and there...
There are no current webcam libraries that work with e.g. OpenJDK 17, and there are unlikely to be any new ones (Java is moribund). But, support for the Robot class continues. I've been experimenting; Capturing a second monitor with repeated screenshots almost works (inefficient, might perform better on a faster machine). You can use a second monitor to input external video this way, including a webcam feed. I've set the key 'n' to toggle screen capture in this experimental development version h...
Hi Andrea, I resurrected an old fork here. I tried to improve the full-screen behaviour, and it seems to be working on Linux with double screens -- provided the configured screen area isn't the exact same size as the displays (?!). I couldn't figure out how to build a standalone multi-platform executable using Netbeans13+OpenJDK17, and I'm beginning to suspect may no longer be possible (Java ecosystem has degraded over the past decade?). But compiling from source seems ok.
The way I've done this in the past is to fake a full-screen window using a "normal" window that (1) expands to fill the current screen when double-clicked by detecting the screen size and setting its position and shape to (0,0,W,H); and (2) hides its own window decorations (operating system permitting). That way you can drag the window over to the projector and expand it; You might want to hard-code the projector's resolution in the settings file, and/or add code to re-initialize all buffers to the...
I suspect that we have an uncaught exception in the webcam initialization, at least,...
