John Brieger — Face OSC

by John Brieger @ 6:49 am 24 January 2012

[vimeo=35562537 w=605&h=400]

Uses Face_OSC to do facial recognition, smiling and mouth movement to control an array of LED’s that respond in real time to facial features. Raising your eyebrows flashes the lights on the back of the collar in rapid succession, letting everyone around know if you are surprised or angry.

The dress itself is part of a fashion collaboration between myself and Alanna Fusaro. You can see our full line here.

Sorry for the rendering issues in the video.
