💀 DEPRECATED 💀

I rewrote this app! Please check out phold!

phacephold

Realtime visual app based on face folding inspired by Aphex Twin's promotional images for Syro and live shows that runs in the browser

Premise

I got the idea from attending a recent Aphex Twin show and was inspired by the face fold visual. I wanted to see what extent I could replicate this visual in realtime. My initial idea was for the visual to be housed in a desktop app written in C++ and use OpenCV for performance reasons, but I wanted anyone to play with the visual simply by visiting a site, so I switched to a web-based project.

This project used webpack-starter-basic as a starting point. In-browser face detection is handled by face-api.js.

Demo

Coming soon.

Requirements

  • node >= 8.x
  • npm >= 6.x

Developing

Some steps

Install

Clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/helmetroo/phacephold.git

Install required modules.

npm i

Development

webpack-dev-server is used to serve a development build, and enables you to quickly see changes you make from your editor. To start it, run

npm run dev

Preview

http-server is used to serve a production build for preview purposes. It also allows you to run the app from other devices on your network, say a mobile device connected to the same wireless router.

SSL Certificate

To preview a production build, you will need to host a root SSL certificate as there is functionality (fetching from your webcam) requiring the build to be served via HTTPS. You can quickly create a self-signed one for development purposes by running

npm run create-cert

You can also follow this tutorial. You will need openssl installed to run through the tutorial. By default, http-server will look for a certificate and a private key file. You can change the filenames http-server will use for your private key and certificate in package.json under config.https.

Run preview server

To preview a production build, run

npm run preview

Build

To make a production build, run

npm run build
