Today I’m going to show you how to set up a webpage that does real-time face tracking in any browser, mobile, or desktop. I’m doing everything in HTML and JavaScript to allow for cross-device portability. …
Hi! Today we’re going to be comparing the usability of various household devices (Microwave, TV remote, keyboard, etc.) against those of research devices (like eye trackers and brain-computer interfaces).
