  • The project was initiated during Winter of Code 1.0 by DSC IIIT Kalyani and is currently under development.
  • The idea behind this is to facilitate a video calling service built with python sockets(IPv4) and Open-CV, which replaces the users voice by a robotic/AI voice and the video by a neon projection of the users face on a black screen for anonimity purposes.

A screenshot of the connected system is shown below:

To-Do List/ In Progress

  • Add documentation #2
  • Transfer audio over the connection #3
  • Improve facial landmark detection #8

Setting up

  • Create a Conda environment

conda create -name myenv python=3.6

  • Cd into your newly created environment (from command line)

cd C:...\path-to-your-conda-environment\

conda activate myenv

  • Installing modules we will need

conda install -c conda-forge dlib

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

Running the code

  • Fork and clone this repo
  • Make sure your clone resides into the conda environment you created
  • Run server.py and client.py in two different cmd windows/terminals

Open a terminal and run the following git command:

git clone "url you just copied"

where "url you just copied" (without the quotation marks) is the url to this repository (your fork of this project). See the previous steps to obtain the url.

copy URL to clipboard

For example:

git clone https://github.com/this-is-you/VCallZer.git

where this-is-you is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the first-contributions repository on GitHub to your computer.

git pull upstream master
  1. Create a branch

Now create a branch using the git checkout command:

git checkout -b your-new-branch-name

For example:

git checkout -b add-issueno.x

(The name of the branch does not need to have the word add in it, but it's a reasonable thing to include because the purpose of this branch is to add your solved issue to the project.)

Now commit those changes using the git commit command:

git commit -m "Add new feature <issue-no> to the main repo "

replacing <issue-no> with the issue number you are assigned.

  1. Push changes to GitHub

Push your changes using the command git push:

git push origin <add-your-branch-name>

replacing <add-your-branch-name> with the name of the branch you created earlier.
