Project mention: I Open-Sourced My AI Toy Company That Runs on ESP32 and OpenAI Realtime API | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-22
My plan is that Espressif’s WebRTC code[0] will hook up to pipe at [1] that gets you the freedom to do whatever you want.

ByteTrack is a more recent tracking algorithm that is designed to handle occlusions and overlapping objects better. It uses a byte-level representation of objects and a motion model to predict the future position of objects. To enable ByteTrack in YOLOv8, use the bytetrack.yaml configuration file.
