Panda3D + OpenCV for head-tracking
This youtube video shows the result of some tinkering with opencv and panda3d. Opencv does the head-tracking while panda3d runs a slightly modified version of the "ball-in-a-maze" sample. Both are running as individual process communicating via sockets to exchange the face-position data.
It's running in realtime as you can see. Webcam delivers ~30fps, panda3d runs with 60fps (capped to monitor refresh rate)
Its all written with a hand full of python lines.
