Pull a face at your webcam. It works out which face, and drops the matching meme over your head, scaled to follow you around the frame. You can extend and add more memes to your heart's desire. Point Zoom at its virtual camera and the whole call sees it. Fourteen reactions: time out, heart hands, hands over face, crashing out, dancing, nose pinch, flirty, hand up, tongue out, gasp, disgust, talking to the wall, side-eye, and spinning. There's a second file, itsgivingv2.py, which is the same thing with the expression thresholds calibrated to your face instead of to a number I guessed. Python 3.11 or 3.12. Three MediaPipe models (15 MB) download themselves on first run. Don't unpin the dependencies. MediaPipe 0.10.30+ (including 1.0.x) ships macOS wheels that abort the moment they open a detector, so it's held at 0.10.21. That build needs NumPy 1.x, and OpenCV 5 needs NumPy…
