I’ve seen multiple historical iPhone apps that overlay vintage … Continue reading →

Here are 10 ideas for applying face tracking using computer vision: 1 – Use face tracking to apply an avatar or an icon to annonymize your video chats. 2 -  Use it to approximate origination of gaze and apply to … Continue reading →
