Control stuff with your webcam using Javascript

eyePlayer

A series of experiments to control stuff using a webcam.

Getting Started

Make sure you have the latest packages installed

npm install
bower install

Note: If you don't have npm installed, make sure you have node installed. If you don't have bower, npm install -g bower.

The above steps will download all the required software to build and run this app, such as grunt, requirejs, and jquery.

Running the server

You can run your app using grunt preview. This will start a server on localhost:8000, meaning you can simply go to the urls localhost:8000/examples/blink.html and localhost:8000/examples/motion.html while it's running.

Building the application

This application uses requirejs to load the various modules in the app folder. However, upon build, all of these files are concatenated and minified together to create a small, compressed javascript file.

Running grunt by itself will run through all of the steps of linting the javascript, building out dependencies and ultimately creating /dist/eyePlayer.js and /dist/motionPlayer.js.

Tests

There are some Jasmine tests which be ran by launching the server grunt preview and going to localhost:8000/SpecRunner.html.
