Browser error

Your browser is not compatible with the application (supported browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome)

(Running Opera on OSX.)

EDIT: it's worse than that, read the bottom of the sys requirements: "Note: The user must have administrator rights to the computer he is using."

So they're installing some shitty Windows-only plugin?

I'm impressed by your ability to deduce whether or not a plugin is shitty based solely on what OS it runs on.

FYI: Only works on Windows (No Mac/Linux love, yet)

I wonder why.

Apparently it's an executable.

Seems to me they could do this in Flash and support things that are not Windows. I don't feel like rebooting to try this, even though I'm sure it's a cool example of face tracking.

What is this built in? And does it use any Open Source libraries.

I know that you can do facial tracking in OpenFrameworks.

Very cool, but execution didn't work for me and made me very frustrated.
