93. FaceOSC
7 months ago
FaceOSC is a tool for prototyping face-based interaction. It's built on non-commercial open source FaceTracker code from Jason Saragih.
FaceOSC comes as an example app with the ofxFaceTracker addon for openFrameworks. You can download an OSX 10.5+ binary at github.com/downloads/kylemcdonald/ofxFaceTracker/FaceOSC.zip
OSCulator is an excellent program for routing OSC and MIDI. Download it at osculator.net/
Some of the "face gestures" (or metrics) are more stable than others. Lighting can also have a huge influence on the stability of your values: even lighting from the front coupled with a dark background can give the best results.
Some of the first demos from others:

but in general if you have an extreme pose (facing up) and you're changing scale very fast (moving forward and backward) that's not the best combination for the tracker. it assumes scale is fairly constant over time.
it would be amazing to create some performance with beatboxe wizard

is there any way to adjust the tracking parameters? i'm afraid, my beard is kinda messing things up... :)
yes, it's possible to edit the tracking parameters. see the included readme.txt for notes on this.
@ keith: i knew somebody would write this :)
Cheers!

but you can do it with a 3d camera like kinect. see osceleton vimeo.com/17966780
if osculator is giving you an error, i recommend posting to the osculator forum osculator.net/forum/
First of all, I'd like to say I love your idea and am very eager to try out FaceOSC. I run into a little problem though - when I try to run it, it crashes and reports an unknown error.
OSCulator is working flawlesly and I've figured out, that if I start any program that uses the iSight camera, FaceOSC actually opens up, but then I'm stuck with a grey screen which says "searching for face" indefinetely. Any idea what to do?
I'm running a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Core Duo on 10.6.8 OSX
I've tried reseting my OSX permissions and about every other general thing to do, but I still can't get it to work. I did go through the settings.xml file a couple of time, but I don't know the device ID for iSight, so I get stuck there. Any suggestions?
besides that, i'm really not sure what to tell you. i've never seen this problem before, so i don't know how to debug it. if you want to post the crash log somewhere i can take a look.
thanks.

I'm gonna try it right now, but I'm not sure what to use instead of osculator on windows, any ideas?
"The document “FaceOSC-Osculator.oscd” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
I have OSCulator and it works for other things. What is wrong with the file?
So I got all the libraries set up and was able to compile your example code. But oddly, when the program runs nothing happens. My webcam light goes on and the application opens in the dock, but then it just hangs. Any idea what might be going? (BTW, I am an ITP student and would like to use this face-tracking software for a school project)
