I wrote a program that turns the feed it receives from your webcam in ASCII art. It's open source: you can find the code on Github.

I remember when YouTube had a filter option to watch videos in ASCII for April Fools one year. Now I can do it whenever I want :D

You'll love VLC's caca support: https://wiki.videolan.org/Video_Output/

(fun fact: "Kaka" in German is child's speech for "poop". Seems to be the same in French , looking at libcaca's page)
