lee chu – project 12 proposal

I plan to collaborate with Ammar Hassonjee on the final project. We are thinking about creating a webcam overlay that could detect faces and project a filter over it, much like snapchat or instagram filters. Ideally, by detecting the colors in the frame of the webcam, we can identify and track a face. While tracking the face, sounds may be triggered by a specific action, and the entire filter could be dynamic depending on the user’s movements and actions. We will most definitely need to look into how face tracking generally works, as well.
