Camera with Effects

Adafruit Fruit Jam next to a stuffed cyclops foamyguy mascot and small display showing a 2x2 color grid frame showing all 3 items recursing on the screen

This section covers an effects camera project. Live preview from the USB camera is shown on the display connected to the Fruit Jam's DVI output. Several different effects are available which modify colors and other aspects of the images. A number of the effects are 2x2 color grids, inspired by Andy Worhol's artwork.

If you point the camera at the display showing the live preview it functions as a basic video feedback rig.
