Some days I spend more time staring pointlessly at the contents of my Steam library than actually playing the games I’ve got.

Martha Stewart looking at 3D Printers at CES 2014. But all I could focus on was “Did that girl just curtsy to Martha Stewart at 0:21 ?!?” So funny. Why don’t you 3D print this Martha?!? P.S. I actually like Martha Stewart. P.P.S. Except her “TV voice.”

I think this could easily be used in an advertising context, in a shopping mall, or at a conference,… Need to read the rest of “Kinect Eye Tracking For Marketing & Advertising?” Click this link!

I first detect the viewer’s face, then I detect the angle of the face, then I do a separate image recognition pass on the eyes. The resolution of the Kinect camera is kind of bad (okay, it’s terrible), but… Click to continue reading the remainder of “Kinect Eye Tracking Prototype.”

As you can see, I’ve managed to get a quick little prototype up and running on my new Windows Kinect. It tracks the direction your looking using some pretty simple facial tracking. Source code can be downloaded here. Be advised that this is a really quick prototype and the source code is ugly. I’ll move… Click to read the remainder of “Kinect Facial Tracking Prototype.”
