COMPUTER VISION MEETS SCREEN SAVER

This interactive screen saver is inspired by the popular anime TV show Ghost in the shell®: Stand alone complex™. Face detection is used to display the laughing man logo over the viewers face.

MULTI SCREEN MODES
Because running the same thing on two screens is lame…
- Realtime camera on main screen
- Motion activated camera grid on secondary screen

CUSTOM TEXT
Make a statement and enter your custom text which will spin around the logo.

REQUIREMENTS
- Built-in or external camera
- Snow Leopard or Lion only (for now)!

SCREEN SHOTS

 

PLEASE NOTE
Face detection may not work as well in either very dark environments or in environments with a bright light source in the background. In such cases it helps to adjust the lighting conditions or the camera position slightly.

Enjoy!
Let us know how you like it.

    Great Saver!
    I would like to have the option of just doing the series of Stills on primary or both primary and secondary. Right now it heats things up and causes the fan to run full blast, I’m wondering if just the stills would help with that.

    Thanks!
