Video: Head Tracking using faceAPI & webcam only - no wiimote
Author: s
Description: This video shows Head tracking using the Seeing Machines faceAPI and a web-camera, connected to Johnny Lee's desktop VR demo. By using the faceAPI and a webcam instead of a wiimote, the same 3D view-dependent rendering can be accomplished without having to wear anything on your head.

Fake? I've seen it my self, tried it my self too. And it is a very simple program. Works for every computer, aslong as there is a webcam installed.Some fellow students of mine at AAUE university made a project based on this system.

I agree with Chad8641...cool 3d monitor but so fake!

Sooooooo Fake!!!

actually they are 3d stickers you put onto the monitor.

wow pretty cool!

That's not a 3d monitor. The webcam captures your head position, and recalculates all positions for the 3d elements on the screen. The new thing is the faceAPI headtracking system.

I perhaps shouldn't have said "here" -- I was referring to latency of the general software and not specifically this video. I had watched a large handful of FaceAPI videos when I made this comment.

cool. where can i buy such a 3d monitor?

> eedvaarts said on 04-21-2008 at 14:18:
Just add an infra-red LED next to the camera.

won't work in low light though. where as infra-red would.

Umm what latency dude? Looks pretty good in this video.

> fashnek said on 03-26-2008 at 00:18:
Unfortunately, I'm not so sure I'm impressed with the latency here.

nice...a great improvement on johnny lees idea

> XSportSeeker said on 03-21-2008 at 02:23:
Great! I wonder if they'll open the code for it... as I see, it uses face recognition sofware to trace the position of viewer's head.Some Logitech webcams already have the face tracking stuff.... but great stuff anyways!Kinda reminds me of Augmented Reality...
