It might be useful to get it running on headless Chrome, so it can run completely server-side. There's probably better ways to do that, but it could be fun.

I've not used it, but there's a node-webcam module:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-webcam

That you could presumably pair with node-canvas (or something similar) to achieve the same results without a browser needing to be involved.
