Laughing Faces App in the AppStore

Over the last couple of weeks, I was getting settled in my new job. As I’m working with computer vision researchers now, I started playing with the camera api for the iPhone.

Again, I’m very surprised by the accessibility and quality of Apples apis and their sample code.

As a start, this little app is a “privacy enhanced” camera app for entertainment purposes. It uses face detection and draws a little laughing face on top of each recognized head in real time. I hesitated putting it in the store, yet was asked by some friends to do so (had to exchange the laughing face due to copyright constraints).
