New hands-on tutorial on The Main Thread π
I built a real-time emotion detector in Java using #Quarkus, #JavaCV, #WebSocketsNext, and #LangChain4j.
The pipeline streams webcam frames β detects faces locally β sends only the cropped face to a multimodal LLM (GPT-4o/Gemini) for emotion classification.
High-throughput + low latency = fun and surprisingly practical.
