Neat, clicking through the attributions, Headtrackr (https://github.com/auduno/headtrackr/) by auduno of Opera Software looks quite useful. That's in turn based on ccv (https://github.com/liuliu/ccv), which I knew about, but Headtrackr looks much nicer to use if you just want headtracking out of the box. It does some trigonometry, based on some assumptions about field of view, to provide the 3d coordinate estimates needed for demos like this, whereas ccv focuses on object identification/tracking within the 2d image (and is much more general, so more complex to use out of the box). The Headtrackr guy also put up a demo of a game controlled using head movement: http://www.shinydemos.com/facekat/

I created this framework to automate tests in ccv: http://github.com/liuliu/ccv. Now it is a very "weak" framework comparing to others. The highlight is: simple and pure C. Granted, some hacks are needed to complete this job. But I hope that these hacks are robust enough to be usable. I am looking for a test framework for some time already and I liked the structure of CATCH (https://github.com/philsquared/Catch) a lot but the only downside is that it is C++ based (I don't want to extern "C" link to my C library). It should be understood that for a good test framework, C may not be syntactically powerful enough to support such syntax sugar. JUnit made heavily use of annotation and many C++ unit testing libraries use static object with constructor (to collect all test cases before main starts). I managed to do this with some macros and stac
