Imagerecognition in video example

This sketch works for live facerecognition using the webcam (on a ridiculously cheap chinese android 4.0.3. tablet (Cherry M-1013)) using Processing 2.0b3 and Ketai v7.

I just wanted to say how incredibly awesome it is to be able to use a 110 euro tablet as a basis for playing with facedetection. So much respect to you guys (and the Processing people).

We’re going to be playing with it at

and perhaps utimately for this idea:

Hi Timon,

thanks for letting us know. In a diverse (or fragmented) device market, glad to hear it works on lower-end devices as well.

Best,
Daniel
