faceAPI at CHI
Tuesday, 15 April 2008

During the CHI conference the guys at faceAPI presented their software. What you could see was a working version of the head tracking demo by Johnny Lee we saw earlier, but with just a webcam and no Wii-mote.

The software could recognize the human face within 6 degrees of freedom. As far as I could tell, it worked pretty well. Except that this setup might have a hard time in darker environments. A webcam always needs sufficient light. Great development. Next step: some decent head tracking supported games?
