I would like to create a device that will alow my webcam to track my head, and rotate the cam accordingly. The robotics section of this project is no problem, but it's the headtracking software part i need. My project will be in VB.Net, so I would like the code to be in VB.net, but in case this would be too slow, a C++/C DLL will do. As long as it will work with VB.Net 2003. So what I want is: An example application using DirectX to capture webcam video, and a class/sub/DLL to find my head in the streaming video (eg by drawing a circle around it). 3rd party software may be used, as long as you tell me and as long as it's free. For those that have played Eyetoy: AntiGrav for the ps2, it's a similar headtracking function i want. It's ok if I have to specify my head first... but once i told the program what my head is, it should be able to find it even if it moves.
