Face recognition and tracking is becoming a very popular feature on webcams as well as digital cameras. This function is supposed to help, by reducing the number of failed snapshots. But we pay a price:

Technical statement:
Face recognition software (openframeworks) scan for human faces and replace them by pre-recorded video sequences. A simple algorithm tracks the position of the nose and when possible turns the head in the corresponding direction. The images are displayed for everybody to see and can be printed on postcards.
