Head Tracking 3D
* Please make sure the lighting on your face is good enough
* Please make sure your face is more or less straight, not rotated too much, not tilted too much
* Try the debug mode to check whether the face detection works or not
* If one of the implementation fails, please report it and try the other one
Head Tracking 3D demonstrates the ability of the front facing camera on Android devices to detect the face of the user to provide a head-tracking virtual reality display. The application has been developed and tested with Asus Transformer, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 & Notion Ink Adam because of their fast processing speed. The 3D rendering part of the App is based on my previous Android application "3D Depth Cues Demo" and the face detection is based on the Google Code project JavaCV and the OpenCV Android port.
The App can however still be used with other Android devices, using the rear facing camera and inverting the X-axis, together with a mirror to reflect yourself or a photo of a human face.

It's stupid in one mode it says no front facing camera the other has a squashed camera
When running this in JavaCV mode (OpenCV didn't work when I tried it), the screen shows only the camera output, as in debug mode except without the reticule.
Stupid app. Says that my phone doesn't have a front camera
The opencv version does not detect my front camera. The java version does, but it's too slow. The idea is interesting, it just needs a substantial amount of work.
In the Open CV mode, it says that my phone doesn't have a front facing camera, despite my phone running on JB. But the concept is really nice. I hope they integrage something like this in actual apps or games.
OpenCV does not find any camera. And JavaCV is way too slow.
Tried several options. Never worked.
Didn't work Galaxy J3 Prime just shows front facing camera view
Great start man. Keep it up, I can see this being huge with the video game industry.
Worked on my S2. A bit slow however.
It says there is no camera, lame!
Couldn't detect camera, so wouldn't display. A shame, as it's an interesting idea I would have liked to test.
Unfortunately it does not work on the nexus 5.
. Can't wait to see what comes next
But the "Faster" mode doesn't work with the LG Lucid. I get a "No Camera" Error. Still, as it is, the 3.5FPS slow mode is good looking, but really isn't fast enough make for convincing 3D.
Does not function on my phone, but wish it did!
Works well in Asus EEE Pad Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Note
Lots of lash, little instruction. It works, though.
Why is the app compatible with my HTC desire which doesn't have a front-facing camera, but is not with my Nexus 7 which has one?
Can't do the target or box test. Xperia z1s on kitkat
Not working sir,plz fix this
Slow on asus transformer
3 devices and fails on all
Limited demo but shows concept. My gnex runs it OK but camera seems very zoomed in.
I have 2 cameras! And guss what? No camera it says...poor app
It does work, contrary to what the others say. You need a fast processor and a very good light source so the camera can detect your face. Try to hold it roughly at arms length that helps sometimes too.
Says it doesn't detect face. I cab see my face for a second before it loads and I have w front facing camera. Motorola photon Tegra 2
I'm not sure if this app was copied from i3D, but it doesnt work well on my EVO 3D as it did on my friends iPhone.
I tried in HTC MyTouch 4G without luck. It does nothing but showing the flat image
Doesn't work at all, even though the Dev said it was tested on the Transformer. It say I have no front facing camera.
