Face Drawing Camera

Description

In this project, it is a face drawing camera, which you can create patterns by shaking your head. Hope you have fun with it.

Design Process

In this project, I used the clm.tracker as my example, but I changed the type of the clm.tracker into points. Since it is too simple for only have a once face on the screen and I want to do something that could interactive with users so that it will be fun. I used the nested loop trying to make it diversity. Therefore, you can see that it was like a mirror that reflect yourself on the other side. What I want to tell the users is, no matter what I do, all the things are like mirror and it will reflect the same back to me, so I will treat everything well and kind, which I hope the same thing happen to me. Also, I do not really good at drawing by hand, so I was thinking that if I can creating patterns by using other methods. Therefore, I try to used the nested loop to make an 2D array. As you can see on the camera, it is two sided, and there is a line that separate them. You can shake your head split them or emerge them to create a pattern on your own. I used switch case to make 3 scenes in this project, which the first scene is the point scene, that could easily figure out the user's face. After pressing mouse anywhere on the canvas so that you can jump to next scene, which is a vertex format. This scene is a different kind of effect, which user cannot figure out there face easily, but it will generate many beautiful patterns. For jumping into the third scene, you have to press mouse one more time. In this scene, user will find that their face become into rectangle types and it is another type of effect.

Reflection

This camera can be used in face drawing, which some people maybe not good at drawing by hand so I hope through this method can help people drawing in a new way. The inspiration from this project is from the morning when I woke up and went to bathroom brushing my teeth. While I was watching the mirror, and I did everything the "me" in the mirror did the same(actually it is commen sense right? lol, but it does really inspire me at that time). In this project, I learn that there are some new ways for me to design something through camera, and I think it will be an interesting way to interact with users.
