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. High res images (~ 5000 x 2000px and up) deliver the best viewing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE DID THE MENU BAR GO? The menu & dock will be hidden after a few seconds to not disturb the visual experience. To show the menu & options, simply move your mouse to the very top of your screen.

HOW CAN I LOOK AROUND? For performance reasons only frontal face detection is performed. Instead of rotating your head, shift it to the left to see what is on the right, etc… Like you would look out of a small window.

CAN YOU INCLUDE MY PICTURE? Sure! If you took a great picture and like us to include it into the defaults, just send us a message and we will review your request.

    The update to version 1.4 has been submitted and comes with lots of improvements:

    ALL NEW FACE TRACKING METHOD
    After initial face detection only movements will be tracked based on color differences.

    - Not required to look all the time frontal into the camera anymore
    - Freely move your face and the position will still be tracked
    - Even if your face is only partial visible!
    - Realtime calibration to lighting conditions
    - Smooth movements using prediction algorithm
    - Powered by OpenCV 2.2.1

    IMPROVEMENTS
    - Improved memory management
    - Better instructional icons
    - Minor improvements & bug fixes

    Thanks everyone for your great feedback!
