[lowestlatency]

Would any of the experts from this thread be able to help out with on a fun project with low-latency video?

I'm trying to get video from a raspi + webcam attached to a drone car that's controlled from a web app. Eventually, I'd like to use it to enable visitors from around the world drive around in my apartment and maybe play treasure hunt/escape room kind of games.

In order for internet-folk to operate the drone without frustration I need the lowest latency video streaming I can get. Currently using an mJPEG stream but it has no audio and doesn't take advantage of the on-board h.264 encoding of the webcam (logitech c920). Car operation and the web app is already done.

You probably need to change the problem. Instead of doing real time control of the steering wheel and speed you probably need to let people click where they want to go, and then let them watch the car drive there before the make their next click. Switch to a turn-based game feel and use the driving time and the decision making time to hide the latency.

You might have some luck finding someone at a video meetup if there's one near you (https://demuxed.com/meetups). I bet an organizer would be open to you giving a quick lightning talk about the project to their group (if you're in SF feel free to ping me).

There's also the Video Dev slack: https://video-dev.org.
