i was very impressed at how well it worked for me, and then surprised how it totally didn't work for my fiancee. turns out it was totally thrown by her glasses. when she took them off it detected her just fine. i suppose i was quiet impressed that the face detection was detecting specifically enough for that to be a problem.

still very cool.

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.

That's strange. I also wear glasses, which is not a problem at all. Is there anything special about her glasses?

Forgot to mention this.

My dark skinned friend tried it. It did bit work. This raises some troubling issues with some people.

There was a big affair recently in US with HP releasing a tracking web cam that worked only on white skinned people. The company got a lot of bad publicity for that.

That's good to know, thanks! I think I'll have to mention that in my thesis.

Good Job!

I get several questions when doing some similar project. I hope you could offer me the help.

I would like to use opencv on n900 (actually, i dont know whether you were using opencv in your code), but I get no idea how to port and install opencv library and header files to the device. Any idea?

Cheers.

Sorry, I can't help you. I don't use OpenCV (at least not on the N900). So I've got no clue either.

Thanks a lot to everyone who has participated in the survey! I just closed it and now it's time to evaluate the results.
The game can still be downloaded though.

Wicked cool game, I didn't have a lot of high hopes for it when I saw the screen shot, but after playing it I have to admit it's quite addicting and amazing to play. Great job on it!
