Avatarian v2.0: Streamlined with PySide6 and High-FPS Capture

Major Improvements

• PySide6-based Overlay: Avatarian now utilizes PySide6 to provide a seamless overlay experience, enhancing user interaction.
• High-Performance Capture: The removal of windows-capture library and adoption of event-driven capture using PySide6 threads significantly improves performance and responsiveness.
• Model Optimization:
  • Removed dependency on dlib and transitioned to OpenVINO and OpenCV models.
  • Expanded model support to include models from Open Model Zoo and OpenCV Zoo.
  • Achieved smoother UI responses by coordinating PySide6 threads with windows-capture threads for face detection, recognition, and overlay processing.
• Deprecated Features:
  • Temporary removal of camera input and RTMP streaming functionality.
