Hello HN, Lot of students are learning remotely(& alone), as we know it's hard to stay focused. AI that takes a picture periodically, analyse if they are looking away or at their phone and gently nudge to continue learning.

Everything happens on device and nothing is sent anywhere

Please try it and share your feedback/suggestions

Currently Webrtc have to go thru TURN servers to achieve P2P calling on few networks,

Can a similar thing be used to send them over http/https and have a js code on receiving side, convert it into UDP Webrtc data, bypassing the need for a costly TURN server


We sure can do it technologically and i imagine you want something like project Haven.

But considering the usecase of streaming for teaching, like other comment mentioned there are other ways to do it and if there are more requests for this, we would be happy to add


Hello fellow hacker, we tried a lot of hit this issue before sending this message but couldn't.

Can you pls try again making sure both are same network. We have made a conscious decision not to use a TURN server as we don't want any traffic to go via us.


I have the same issue with Firefox on Windows :). How can I help you in reproducing it?


Thank you for the reply, we are trying to replicate the issue but due to lockdown in our country we couldn't procure few things to test from iOS and Mac safari, pardon the delay we will update you soon.


I have the same issue with Firefox on a Windows machine. My phone is iOS.


iOS Safari and Windows Firefox is working


Hello fellow hacker that was the first thought we even thought to provide a camera source like snapcam and others do but we wanted to keep it simple and take a zero installation approach this is output we got.

An interesting tidbit, on javascript side even if we are paying a video, we expect phones to not turn off display but some phones still turn off the display. This was one scenerio when we thought app would be appropriate


Hello HN, Lot of educators are now teaching remotely but the most favourite tool of a teacher, whiteboard/blackboard is missing from their teaching arsenal

To project their physics experiments, chemistry labs, even good old pen & paper live

We built a p2p way to stream any smartphone camera to a browser while they are streaming their screeen live to students on zoom, google meet etc

Please do checkout and leave your valuble feedback. https://show.veda.ai/


Thanks, just to clarify: your servers are only used for the handshake here and the video is kept completely local right?

PS: https://show.veda.ai/demo.jpg I hate how accurate this picture reflects parts of my improvised setup. :)


Yes, our servers are only for signalling.

Nice, we wanted to show the bare minimum required to use the tool.


This worked fine when I first used it, but now it asks for audio/microphone permissions even though in my father's use case he is just using the video aspect and then using Zoom for the audio/video with his students.

Can you push a fix to not require all three permissions to work?
