- **Git**: For cloning the repository
## 🚀 Installation Options
### Option 1: Docker (Recommended)
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/NowYouSeeMe.git
cd NowYouSeeMe
# Start with Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d
# Access the application
# Open your browser to http://localhost:8080
```
### Option 2: PyPI Package
```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install nowyouseeme[gpu,azure]
# Run the application
nowyouseeme
```
### Option 3: Manual Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/NowYouSeeMe.git
cd NowYouSeeMe
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -e .[dev]
# Build C++ components
./tools/build.sh
```
## 🔧 Hardware Setup
### Camera Configuration
1. **Connect your camera** to a USB port
2. **Verify detection**:
```bash
ls /dev/video*
# Should show /dev/video0 or similar
```
3. **Test camera**:
```bash
# Test with OpenCV
python -c "import cv2; cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0); print('Camera working:', cap.isOpened())"
```
### WiFi CSI Setup
1. **Check WiFi card compatibility**:
```bash
lspci | grep -i network
# Look for Intel 5300 or compatible card
```
2. **Install Nexmon** (if needed):
```bash
# Follow Nexmon installation guide
# https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon
```
3. **Configure CSI capture**:
```bash
# Edit config/csi_config.json
# Set your WiFi interface and parameters
```
## 🎮 First Run
### Starting the Application
```bash
# From the project directory
python -m src.ui.holodeck_ui
# Or if installed via PyPI
nowyouseeme
```
### Initial Setup Wizard
When you first run NowYouSeeMe, you'll see a setup wizard:
1. **Welcome Screen** - Click "Next"
2. **Hardware Detection** - Verify camera and WiFi are detected
3. **Calibration** - Follow the calibration process
4. **Configuration** - Set your preferences
5. **Finish** - Start your first session
### Calibration Process
1. **Camera Calibration**:
- Print the calibration pattern
- Hold it at different angles
- Follow the on-screen instructions
2. **RF Calibration**:
- Move around the room slowly
- Let the system learn the environment
- Complete the RF mapping

## 🔧 Configuration
### Camera Settings
Edit `config/camera_config.json`:
```json
{
"camera": {
"device_id": 0,
"width": 1280,
"height": 720,
"fps": 30,
"exposure": "auto"
}
}
```
### CSI Settings
Edit `config/csi_config.json`:
```json
{
"csi": {
"interface": "wlan0",
"channel": 6,
"bandwidth": 20,
"packet_rate": 100
}
}
```
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Camera Not Detected
```bash
# Check camera permissions
sudo usermod -a -G video $USER
# Verify camera device
ls -la /dev/video*
# Test with OpenCV
python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"
```
#### WiFi CSI Not Working
```bash
# Check WiFi card
lspci | grep -i network
# Verify Nexmon installation
lsmod | grep nexmon
# Test CSI capture
sudo ./tools/test_csi.sh
```
#### Low Performance
```bash
# Check GPU
nvidia-smi
# Monitor system resources
htop
# Reduce quality settings
# Edit config files to lower resolution/FPS
```
#### Application Crashes
```bash
# Check logs
tail -f logs/nowyouseeme.log
# Run in debug mode
python -m src.ui.holodeck_ui --debug
# Check dependencies
pip list | grep -E "(opencv|numpy|PyQt6)"
```
