A web application which tracks user faces through the device video capture source. On mobile phone, user can choose which camera to capture the video from. Since mobile phone have limited computational power, the resolution of the video capture is lower to ensure a smooth experience.

Try out the face tracking web app. Please note the application is rather large ~ 9 MB, and may require a few minutes to download on a slow connection. You will also need a a modern browser such as Google Chrome. Available for desktop and mobile devices

Don't worry, all processing are done on the client side, i.e. no video or imagery are send to anyone.
