 The non-commercial API from SeeingMachines was the big stimulator for us to create FaceTrackNoIR in the first place. It offers very good face-tracking, with relatively low CPU-usage.

 Tracking facial features instead of IR-leds offers a great advantage: no hardware but a simple web-cam is required! So anyone can use faceAPI, almost instantly.

 ## Drawbacks ##
-Lighting and web-cam need to be good. If you wonder if your webcam will work with faceAPI, then it is wise to try the [faceAPI demo](http://www.seeingmachines.com/product/faceapi/downloads/) first. Registration (free of charge) is required.
-SeeingMachines recommends a Dual core processor or higher.

 ### Limitations of non-commercial version ###
 The most important limitation is the fact that the video-source cannot be selected. This means that faceAPI will always (try to) use the first video-source it finds (even if that's not your webcam).

-The non-commercial API from SeeingMachines was the big stimulator for us to create FaceTrackNoIR in the first place. Tracking facial features instead of IR-leds offers a great advantage: no hardware but a simple web-cam is required! The faceAPI tracker works very well for many users. Unfortunately, there are limitations to the non-commercial version too and both lighting and web-cam need to be good.
