    Hi, i've bought FaceTrackNoIr, but i have a problem!
    Everytime that i push "START" i see a little window of FaceAPI Tracker that closes immediately afterwards

    Even when i try to open faceAPI from the folder, i see a window that load a menu, and than it closes
    what i have to do? i tried to run like "administrator" , restarting PC but nothing
    i use a GoPro hero 8
    thank you

    Hello Dario,

    When you open the webcam utility of FaceTrackNoIR, what do you see?
    Can you upload a screenshot?

    Error
    800400200: Cannot set frame rate for preview

    And than if I click ok i see the webcam preview

    Maybe if faceAPI retrieves an error like that, it fails? Unfortunately that's not something that can be fixed in the code. Is there another webcam you can try?

    Hello Dario,

    You must understand that the faceAPI tracker is quite old and only works well with WDM compatible devices. Since the webcam utility also shows an error, that might suggest that the camera is not compatible OR that there is some driver issue.

    Do you have the latest driver(s) installed?

    yes, i have the latest drivers for GPU cam and windows

    Hi guys, i have some news
    If I set PointTracker1.1 , facetracknoir is almost working
    the cam go ON, i see my face in black and white moving, but inside the game the camera is moving alone in a crazy mood

    I'm still trying to use faceAPI, but without results

    some advice?

    Hello Dario,

    OK, so faceAPI still does not work. For PointTracker you need a cap, with IR-leds. I have tested it with a modified PS3Eye and a DelanClip myself.

    It costs a little bit more, but it allows you to play in the dark :-)
