Overview

Motivation: Help impaired people (reduced arm and hand functioning) draw physical images.

FaceDoodle is more than just a 2D plotter. It's an augmented 2D plotter that uses advanced face tracking technology to draw complex lines and shapes using only face movement! Your imagination is its only limit. It is the combination of a regular 2D plotter and a face tracking drawing interface measuring the angular movements of the face and representating them by a cursor on a screen.

This guide will walk you through the steps needed to get this plotter up and running from A to Z.

About the project

This project was conceived for the course CS-358 Making Intelligent Things at EPFL, supervised by Federico Stella.

We had the chance to realize this project into the SPOT building, hence we had access to a lot of different machines (trainings and supervision were required).

We would like to thank the SPOT and SKIL assistants and coaches, Prof. Christoph Koch, Federico Stella, Juliette Parchet and the rest of CS-358 teaching team that made this project possible.
