FlashySlideshows..! a hardware accelerated 3d slideshow application
Info
Hello Everybody , just wanted to share my latest project with the world..!
The goal is a user-friendly hardware accelerated slideshow application , with zoom/pan effects , Ken Burns effects , smooth transitions , face/edge detection , fast performance , that will look something like PS3 Slideshow , and also be compatible with touch screen displays , user friendly and eye pleasing..
I have a pretty big photo archive ( amateur photographer 
) and couldn't find a program with this kind of functionality so I decided to make one..!
Also the title "Flashy"-Slideshows has nothing to do with Adobe Flash , the project is written in C++ uses OpenGL , freeGLUT , OpenCV and WxWidgets as its framework..
Its just "flashy" so I thought it is a fitting project name 
It is currently under development but it is stable enough for "real world" use..!
I can't guarantee 100% that it will work on any video card/graphics driver combination , but on 5-6 systems that I have access to with NVIDIA and Intel chipsets it seems to be working fine , after all it is clean OpenGL calls..! Frame rates are another issue I try not to oversaturate/overheat/drain power on laptops with the graphics card ( sleep time 2000+ microseconds ) and still get 400+fps and there is a configurable texture resolution on the GUI that starts the application for older hardware..!
Code readability and quality can ( and I hope it will ) be improved , I will also have to make a real make file instead of the current custom ./make script.
Dependencies are : gcc imagemagick openal opencv wxgtk aur/wxwidgets freeglut libxxf86vm libexif zenity
The project also needs jpegexiforient which I couldnt find in the arch repos , and have added it to the repo , it should be added to the system along with flashy slideshows using ./install.sh
