Human Face Masking

By dharasis on Thu, 07/27/2017 - 07:11

Hello,

One of my client came with a human face masking project in Unity. The human face need to be detected and a virtual mask need to be applied over his/her face  as mask. It should work like a complete mask over the face interacting with face's movement and gestures. 

I found a question related to face detection: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-extension-technical-discussion/simple-face-tracking At the point of time the Vuforia was not supporting face detection. Has Vuforia has come of with face detection feature in these years?  

Thanks in advance!

Hello dharasis,

Vuforia does not currently support face detection.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

I did a face mask project recently in Unity.  I used OpenCV for Unity and the accompaning face mask sample, both available in the asset store.  Worked out great.  You'll want a native camera feed, Unity's native webcam video feed will be a bottleneck for you.
