Displaying a video stream

Is there a way to make this continuous and fast ?

One of the reasons why open-cv / CV2 is fast is that it is written in C++ and accessible in python through CPython, in your search for a solution keep in mind that:

1. The more round trips and conversions between physical systems you have, the greater lag your code will experience.
2. Most browsers only natively run javascript, html, php, and WASM / webassembly . (I’m sure i’m forgetting some less used ones, JAR containers I dunno?)
3. So if you want to skip sending streaming video back and forth or at least use the browser to draw bounding boxes directly on the screen, I would research implementations of CV2 support in the browser, I think Rust compiles to WASM? Not sure if it has implemented CV2.

Edit:
Maybe this is even an option to be used with anvil:

Pyscript - Your Thoughts?

Off Topic Post about Python in the browser. The Youtube Algorithm recently decided that this video might be interesting for me: [PyScript - Run Python in the Browser! THE END of JavaScript???] From my limited understanding this is somewhat comparable to skulpt? Anyway - thought this might be of interest for the community. Cheers Mark
