Realtime Video to ASCII Converter In JavaScript
Joel Parish has written a Chome Experiment that uses the HTML5 video and canvas elements to convert video to ASCII in realtime. The implementation is under 150 lines of code, and only works in OGG Vorbis supporting browsers (Firefox, and Chrome at this point). It also lets you change the resolution, scale and brightness of the effect as the video plays.
Very cool!
