CamCue

This is a prototype for a desktop application called CamCue that I designed using the p5.js editor and incorporated the Posenet library to take advantage of AI. The user runs the program before using meeting software like Zoom and the app then creates a virtual camera to be used by the meeting software. Cam Cue then does two things while monitoring body movements. First, when the user stands up to leave the computer, it notifies them through an overlay on their screen that the camera is still on, giving them the opportunity to turn it off should they have forgotten. Second, while the user is off-camera/away from the computer, it changes the video stream to a predetermined away image so that the other participants of the meeting cannot see the room while the user is away. The software changes the video stream back to the camera when the user returns.

The video (just 35 seconds) shows the startup screen for the CamCue application and then the ways in which the software would respond to movements during a meeting. The application screen shows toggles for the apps main features/options. Then the video shows a mocked up desktop and mocked up Zoom window. When I stand up, the Camera On notification appears on screen. When I leave my desk, the video stream changes to an away image. When I return, the camera starts up again. A little glitchy there, but it's just a proof-of-concept.

And I think I made a decent logo for it, too. :)
