Real-Time Camera Captioning

Experience intelligent computer vision with live AI captions that update automatically as you move

📖 About This Project

I built this real-time computer vision application to address a common observation in AI development: many developers, including junior engineers, focus heavily on trendy areas like agents and MCP protocols. I work with these technologies extensively, but I also aimed to highlight the often-overlooked yet critical aspects of AI engineering in production. This includes deployment, real-time processing, strong system architecture, and fundamental software engineering practices.

My emphasis was not just the simple concept of real-time captioning, but how all the components work well together. I focused on constructing reliable deployment pipelines, implementing intelligent rate limiting, optimizing real-time camera feeds, and designing a thoughtful user experience. The 8-second update interval, for instance, is a deliberate choice. It balances server resource efficiency with a consistent, valuable user interaction.

This project also presented a significant challenge: operate the application as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible in a live environment. I explored various approaches to strike the best balance between performance and resource consumption.

⚙ī¸ How It Works

1

Camera Access

Click "Start Live Captioning" and grant camera permission when prompted by your browser.

2

AI Analysis

Every 8 seconds, a frame is captured and sent to our AI model for intelligent analysis.

3

Live Captions

Natural language descriptions appear automatically, describing what the AI sees in real-time.

4

Continuous Updates

Move around, show objects, or change scenes to see how the AI adapts and provides new captions.

5

Fair Usage Limits

Each user has daily caption limits to ensure everyone gets a chance to try the AI technology.

6

Session History

View your generated captions and track your usage throughout your session.

🔒 Privacy & Data Protection

✅
No Data Storage

We do not save, store, or record any video or images from your camera.

✅
Temporary Processing Only

Images are processed in real-time and immediately discarded after caption generation.

✅
Local Camera Control

Your camera stream stays in your browser - you have full control to start and stop anytime.

✅
No Personal Information

We don't collect, track, or store any personal information or user data.

✅
Fair Usage Management

Anonymous session tracking ensures equal access for all users without identifying individuals.

✅
Session-Based Processing

All processing is session-based with automatic cleanup when you close the browser.
