A Python CLI tool that renders your webcam video feed as a Matrix-style falling-character animation in the terminal. The output can be piped through OBS or v4l2loopback to use as a virtual camera in video conferencing apps.
Use cases
- display my webcam feed as matrix rain in the terminal
- use a matrix-style webcam effect in zoom or teams
- look hacky on video calls
- turn webcam video into ascii-style terminal animation
- create a virtual camera with a matrix effect
When to choose
- you want a fun, hacky matrix-style webcam effect for video calls
- you want a lightweight pip-installable tool with no GUI
- you already use OBS or v4l2loopback for virtual cameras
When to avoid
- you need a polished, production-grade video filter tool
- you need real video conferencing features rather than a visual effect
- you need high-resolution, low-latency video processing
