The Face Sensing extension is developed by Scratch team in Scratch Lab. We introduce it to Gandi IDE.

You can use it to make animated costumes and games that interact with your face.

When you are using the Face Sensing blocks, only your computer can sense your face. None of your data is stored or sent to Gandi IDE, Cocrea, Scratch or any other site.

The technology behind the Face Sensing blocks is not perfect. It is best at seeing faces that are brightly lit and close to the camera. It will often recognize faces even if they are partly hidden by a mask, glasses, hat, headscarf, or other coverings. It does not do well at seeing faces that are far away, in the dark, or hidden.

Before using this extension, make sure that you have a camera connected to your computer.

The camera will be turned on when you install this extension. The extension will only detect one of faced

Move the sprite to the position of an organ of the face.

Set the direction of the sprite to the direction of face tilt.

Get the value of face tilt. The return value will be a direction value.

Set the size of sprite to the size of face on the stage.

Get the value of face size. The return value will be a size number.

If you want the sprite to move with your face, you should build a loop. For example:

When the face tilts in left or right, the event will be dispatched.

When the sprite touches an organ on the face, the event will be dispatched.

When a face is detected, the event will be dispatched.

This block will return the result of face detection.
