“Above the Neck” Research

I’m intrigued not as much by face tracking, but CV facial recognition. Here are a few of the things I found about it:

Other Faces in Other Places

Face tracking projects from around the real world (I mean, Carnegie Mellon). Students in the Interactive Art and Computational Design class at Carnegie Mellon have recently posted their work using Kyle McDonalds FaceOSC face tracking software along with Greg Bornstein. Here a few examples of their work:

Alex Wolfe made an app called Face OSC […]
