This is the repository of the ChessEye project, made at Techcrunch Disrupt 2016. A one minute presentation video is available.

• Python with OpenCV (tested with 3.1.0)
• OCaml
• ReactiveML (opam install rml)
• ChessEye has been tested on MacOSX and Ubuntu.

• (cd controller; make)

• To read data from the second camera (e.g. USB webcam on a laptop), and have the computer suggest moves for black, run: python cam/chesseye.py --src=1 | controller/controller -kibbitz 1 | python voice/speak.py
• To transcribe a video of a game to PGN, run python cam/chesseye.py --src=game.mov --no-ui | controller/controller -kibbitz 0 | python export/pgn.py

When operating from a file, you can also run the processes independently and save intermediary outputs to a file (it's just pipes after all).

• Promotion always promotes to queen
• Board needs to occupy the majority of the frame and be relatively well aligned with the horizontal/vertical axes.
• White needs to be "on the right" of the frame.
