Fascinating write-up Ben, who would have known that you were a genius with image processing as well as running containers :-) Love the gory details and I didn't know about pyfakewebcam either.

Do you have a live video recorded showing how quickly it can process a stream?

The demo at the end of the page is a video (webm), but there's not a ton of motion to reference besides the blinking.

IIRC it's something like 10FPS currently which is sufficient enough for meetings so far (about 1/3 what you might get with sufficient bandwidth in most video conference tools).

There's definitely room to improve it.

Amusingly the current bottleneck is actually reading from the webcam with the suboptimal ~default capture config. Without doing anything else that's ≤ 10fps. Low hanging fruit still :-)
