A simple video chat client implementation using sockets. It's created and maintained by Anil Shanbhag & Ashwin Paranjpee, IIT Bombay.
This application was developed in Hack Night , a fun coding weekend . This project is only for educational purposes .
On one session
$ python server.py
Another session
$ python client.py [optional ip]
For example, if you are doing locally
$ python client.py
If the server is on a remote machine
$ python client.py {server-ip}
Sockets and OpenCV are two main things in this app.
Client connects to server socket . PyOpenCV library is used to retrieve frames from webcam feed , they are compressed to jpg to save on the amount of data to be sent across the socket and transmitted . At the other end the image is decompressed and shown. The data being well above 4096 is sent split and reassembled at the other end .
PS : This implementation is two way
