Virtual Webcam Setup

This project requires setting up a virtual webcam. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Load the v4l2loopback module:

sudo modprobe v4l2loopback

2. To configure the virtual device, you can run:

sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback && sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=10 card_label="Overlay" exclusive_caps=1 max_buffers=2

1. To verify the virtual device has been correctly set up, run:

ls -la -1 /sys/devices/virtual/video4linux

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your virtual device listed.

Running the Face-Swap

To run the face-swap on your live webcam feed:

1. Navigate to the project directory.

2. Execute the main script: python main.py

This will initiate the face-swapping process on your webcam. Ensure your virtual webcam device is selected as the source in any application you're using.

Notes

• The virtual webcam device can be used in software such as video conferencing tools, allowing you to use the face-swap feature in real-time communications.
• Ensure the v4l2loopback module is correctly set up before attempting to run the main script.
