[Vxl-users] How to use VXL in Visual C++ to track a face realtime?

[Wim V. <fac...@gm...>]

Hello VXL-users,

I am developer of an open-source program called
FaceTrackNoIR<http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm>and
I'm looking for ways to expand (and improve) my program. As you can
see
in the web-site, FaceTrackNoIR uses the SeeingMachines faceAPI to retrieve
the rotations and translations of the users face. Then the program
translates these values and sends them to a game/flightsim using the
appropriate protocol. Movement of the face then results in movement of the
in-game character.

I found VXL on the internet and I wonder if it is possible to use it as
real-time facetracker? The faceAPI has some serious drawbacks (it's not
open-source, support is 'zero' and it's quite CPU-demanding). I would like
to offer users the option to choose a different tracker...

Has anyone done something like this before?

Thanks in advance,

Wim Vriend
