Face Mapping
Arturo Castro, one of the main contributers to the OpenFrameworks library, has just posted this face recognition and mapping demo.
Whilst this is just a fun demo, it really shows what is possible with with pattern recognition these days. Facial expression mapping is possible without having to align the eyes and mouth to preset positions. I love the FaceRaiders minigame on the 3DS, but a these manual adjustments are needed for every face you take a picture of for it to work properly.
I imagine something like this would be a fun addition to social multiplayer games. Your face can be tracked and mapped to the character of the game. Kinect demo anyone?
