Why use Face Sensing?

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.
