Using Godot for mixed-reality livestreaming
I've been working on an unusual project with Godot recently, and I thought it might make for a potentially interesting talk. I'm working on a mixed-reality livestreaming setup in Godot, blending together the live feed of my camera with a 3D scene matched to the perspective of the camera.
The project is still pretty early, but I could already easily fill a lightning or short talk with all the strange things I've done to achieve this so far; plus, I expect to have it a lot more fleshed out in the month or so.
I've attached an image of one of the effects I've been working on that I think is interesting; there's a transparent quad behind me in my real world-space, clipping into a physical table in the background, with accurate(ish) depth of field blur.

in the (near) future, the idea is that these quads will be displaying different windows from my computer, and shuffling around depending on what program I have foregrounded
