Head Tracking 3D

* Please make sure the lighting on your face is good enough
* Please make sure your face is more or less straight, not rotated too much, not tilted too much
* Try the debug mode to check whether the face detection works or not
* If one of the implementation fails, please report it and try the other one
Head Tracking 3D demonstrates the ability of the front facing camera on Android devices to detect the face of the user to provide a head-tracking virtual reality display. The application has been developed and tested with Asus Transformer, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 & Notion Ink Adam because of their fast processing speed. The 3D rendering part of the App is based on my previous Android application "3D Depth Cues Demo" and the face detection is based on the Google Code project JavaCV and the OpenCV Android port.
The App can however still be used with other Android devices, using the rear facing camera and inverting the X-axis, together with a mirror to reflect yourself or a photo of a human face.

Couldn't detect camera, so wouldn't display. A shame, as it's an interesting idea I would have liked to test.

This actually works and has so much potential. You guys should make a first person game like this! :-)

When running this in JavaCV mode (OpenCV didn't work when I tried it), the screen shows only the camera output, as in debug mode except without the reticule.

Nice to have this on Android but this demo is very slow. Try Outside The Box for a smoother experience.

Works on my desire s, albeit slowly. I think it does what it is meant to well. i.e demonstrate what is capable of this technology.

OpenCV does not find any camera. And JavaCV is way too slow.

The opencv version does not detect my front camera. The java version does, but it's too slow. The idea is interesting, it just needs a substantial amount of work.

But the "Faster" mode doesn't work with the LG Lucid. I get a "No Camera" Error. Still, as it is, the 3.5FPS slow mode is good looking, but really isn't fast enough make for convincing 3D.

Doesn't work at all, even though the Dev said it was tested on the Transformer. It say I have no front facing camera.
