When I ran the web demo in Macbook Pro, the web page showed "Error fetching video from webcam". Do you know where to fix it? Thanks.

Hi Piedmont,

Can you describe how the server/client and networking is set up?

If you are running the server in Docker or another computer and using Chrome, you need to work around the insecure origin error as described at:

I ran server and client in the same computer, after ran the ncat for Chrome and it worked with http://localhost:8000

Thanks!

Hi Branddon,

By the way, the video shows the green rectangle with green dots on eyes and nose, do you know how can I get ride of those dots? Where should I modify?

Thanks!

The annotations are done here:
