View source for Augmented Room Dressing for Zoom

Client: Matt Johnson, [[Frontier]] <mjohnson@frontier.co.uk>, working with Olly Powell <opowell@frontier.co.uk>

In these times of Covid-19, many of us are spending much more time alone and interacting with colleagues and peers via webcams in virtual meetings. In the spirit of light relief, we would like the client to produce a fun application which would capture the video feed from a webcam, augment it with entertaining elements such as models, images or animations (For example, one option may be to provide a virtual set of bookshelves in the background to allow the user to appear better read for an interview!). The application should be able to work with some captured 3d information about the scene in order to place the friendly or amusing augmentations to brighten up the room of the user, or even provide some interactive background elements. The output should then be supplied as a virtual camera feed which may be consumed by applications such as Zoom or Teams.
