Remote Faces\n\nA small app to share webcam still images periodically\n\n## Motivation\n\nWorking from home is a working style that has existed\nand is usual nowadays.\nTools such as instant messaging and video conferencing\nallow working from home.\nThose tools are useful and mandatory, but it turns out that\nit would also be nice to have another tool to feel connected.\n\n\"Remote Faces\" is a small app to share a webcam still image.\nThe image will be updated only periodically.\nThe size of the image is small enough to keep your privacy to some extent.\nIt doesn't involve a server to transfer image data,\nbut it's done in a peer-to-peer manner.\n\n## Goal\n\nThe goal of this project is to provide a tool for people working from home.\nThe tool will be kept running during working and used occasionally.\nIt would fill the gap between working in office and working from home.\nIt would be complementary to more active tools like email,\nmessaging, phone and scheduled video calls.\n\nAlthough not a primary goal, as we take privacy seriously,\nour technology focus is for peer-to-peer network.\n\n## How to use\n\nJust visit the following link to jump to the latest tool.\n\n\u003chttps://remote-faces.js.org\u003e\n\nGoogle Chrome on PC is recommended.\nIt may work on other browsers including some on mobile.\n\nYou may also [Select Remote Faces Versions](https://dai-shi.github.io/remote-faces/tools/select.html) in case the latest version has some issues.\n\nTo create a new room, click the button and the app starts immediately.\nCopy the URL and share it with your colleagues.\nIt will take your face image with webcam every two minuites.\nAt first, you will only see your face,\nbut once your colleagues enter the room,\nface images are broacasted within the room.\nNote this app is based on peer-to-peer technology,\nand the images are only transferred in the participants of the room.\n\nIf you are trying this app for the first time,\nyou can open the app in multiple tabs in Chrome.\nYou can open it as many as you want and simulate\nthe app behavior with many participants.\n\nIf you have a question, don't hesitate to\n[open an issue](https://github.com/dai-shi/remote-faces/issues/new/choose)\nfor it.\n\n## How to contribute\n\nThis is an open source project and your contribution is important.\nThe web app is built with [React](https://reactjs.org) and\n[IPFS](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs) PubSub\nwith [WebRTC](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API),\nalternatively [PeerJS](https://peerjs.com).\n\nWe welcome your contribution at any level; from coding,\nissue reporting, bug fixing, discussing features, documentation\nand to promotion!\n\nFor more information, check out [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## Screenshots (Legacy Version)\n\n![screenshot](images/screen01.png)\n\n## Downloads\n\nOnce you are used the tool, you might want a standalone app.\nTechnically, it's just a wrapper and features are basically the same.\nIf you are not familiar, you can continue using Chrome to use the app.\n\n\u003chttps://github.com/dai-shi/remote-faces/releases\u003e\n\n## Blogs\n\n- [Remote Faces: Share webcam still images with
