Selecting and Tracking

Paper Face-Tracking as an Augmented Input in Video Games: Enhancing Presence, Role-playing and Control
We designed and implemented two game prototypes, applying face/head information to different user experiences. These prototypes were based on analysis from prior camera-based games, and face tracking technology.
