Building a Real-Time Object Detection and Video Recorder in React
Let’s talk about how to build a cool React app that detects objects in real-time using your webcam. It also lets you record videos and take pictures. Don’t worry — it’s easy to follow! We’ll explain the main tools, go through the most important code, and show you how this project can be used in real life.
🚀 What Does This App Do?
This app uses your webcam to detect objects live. It highlights what it sees, like people or other things, records videos (you can start and stop manually or let it do it automatically), and even lets you snap and save pictures. The design is simple and easy to use.
🎯 Where Can You Use It?
- Security Systems: Spot intruders or track who comes in and out.
- Video Projects: Record and analyze special moments.
- Games and Fun: Create games or learning apps that react to what the camera sees.
- Fitness Tracking: Detect movements or poses while working out.
🛠️ Tools We Used
- TensorFlow.js: Helps the app understand what the camera sees.
- React Webcam: Lets the app use your webcam.
- MediaRecorder API: Handles video recording.
