so with GT5 approaching I was finally motivated enough to set up my IR face tracking setup.
At the heart of it, is a $16 Deal Extreme IR module (link). the rest I'm sure you can figure out, a project box, playstation eye, and some servo tape.
The Playstation Eye isn't great in even slightly low light, and since I run front projection, I don't stand much of a chance with a normal setup. I'd imagine a lot of other people wanting to run in darkened rooms for a variety of other reasons would find this useful.
here's an image from it of me doing my best ghost hunter impression
Given that it's stuck to the top of a 'wheelstand pro,' the shake isn't too bad, and there should hopefully be enough image to track from. I'm not sure if I like the angle it sits at so I may wedge it more vertical and I think it needs a stick-on clock or something to zazz it up a bit. The IR module does put out a little bit of red light, if it gets bothersome, I may attempt to filter it.
Are there any other low-light face-tracking solutions floating around the forum?
