Well, this is kind of embarrassing;

"License warning

You don't have a valid license for visage|SDK FaceTrack. Please contact your sales representative. (Error code 0x00000010)"

Check also those open source libraries: http://inspirit.github.io/jsfeat/sample_haar_face.html and http://inspirit.github.io/jsfeat/sample_bbf_face.html

also http://liuliu.me/ccv/js/nss/

The virtual eyewear demo is pretty cool!

The closest thing I've seen to this is DITTO (http://ditto.com) where they create a virtual head using your webcam onto which you can then try various glasses and see yourself at different angles. But that requires an additional "head scanning" step using flash, which isn't needed here. The range of motion is also limited.

I hope this type of technology will be standard in clothing/accessory sites in a few years - I can see it working for ear rings, watches, ties, t-shirts, etc.

The google hangougs video chat does this pretty well - a lot more smooth than this example, although doesn't support modeling of movement such as head rotation IIRC

This was going pretty well (except for the patronising dog complements of 'Good job!' :D), and then it got stuck on 'Almost finished...' :(

Cant run any of the demos, I get a license warning, on their own website :/

Same here

This is also cool http://auduno.github.io/clmtrackr/examples/facesubstitution....

Takes forever to load, but pretty neat, it has a vector for the direction your eyes are pointing, detects blinks and mouth opening/closing.

It seems pretty bound to symmetry though, if I blink just one eye, it seemed to think I blinked both, and if I raised one eyebrow it seemed sticky and raised the other even if it went down.

Also, it didn't detect things like frowning, or slanted brows, but still, very neat.

How did you got pass the license warning?

I didn't see one.

No pricing page really annoys me. Atleast show a ballpark figure so that I know if its worth my time emailing.

In my experience, when they do that it means it will be horribly expensive and they want to be sure to get your email so they can spam you regularly about their incredible one time deal of only 99,000$ per seat !!!111ONE!

I wish this was open source.

good one, sounds like future is on JS

It won't let me run it on localhost without a license file. That's silly because it's running inside the browser and the license check can be hacked.
