I’m one of those guys who, upon hearing an awesome song played through my speakers, moves his face closer to the screen. I usually find myself doing it when I listen to songs on YouTube. While funny, this habit is not safe, and arguably unhealthy for my eyes. Thus with the help of Face OSC by Kyle McDonald and Dan Wilcox, I made a program that speeds up the rate of the video and thus the rate of the song if I get closer and slows down if I get too far away. Ultimately, this program was created to keep my eyes at a safe distance from my screen, but turned out to be a pretty fun program that explores the possibilities of face tracking technology.
