About:
Hasciicam makes it possible to have live ASCII video on the Web. It captures video from a TV card and renders it into ASCII, formatting the output into an HTML page with a refresh tag or in a live ASCII window or in a simple text file as well, giving anyone that has a bttv card, a Linux box, and a cheap modem line the ability to show a live asciivideo feed that can be browsable without any need for a plugin, Java, etc.

[»] Apache Module
by PelDaddy - Nov 20th 2002 18:23:44

How about making an apache module that converts all
images to ASCII art for viweing in lynx, etc... ?

This would be a very cool module indeed. It could be
configured to only server up the ASCI art to browsers that
could use it (or in the ALT tage text).

Sorry, the homepage is missing some links to sites which actually run the software.
