Abstract :
This paper proposes a view dependent rendering setup for home computer use. View dependent rendering uses a parallax effect to give the illusion of depth. Our face tracking method is based on the Lucas-Kanade and Haar algorithms, and runs efficiently so as not to impede other programs. Our setup uses a single webcam to locate the user spatially, allowing a scene to be rendered differently depending upon their 3D location.
