Art with Python and Facial Recognition

This painting from Doctor Who has the nifty property of being able to adjust the perspective according to the position of viewers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUIbq2HPyQA

Cool, eh? Let's try to do this with Python! Starter code is on github: https://github.com/small-yellow-duck/timelordart

With the magic of face detection in openCV, we can use a camera to track the position of viewers.

There are several python libraries for rendering 3d objects. Let's try a few of them out!

Some problems you might wish to consider:

• how long does it take to render an image?

• what should happen if the face recognition algorithm doesn't find a face in the frame?

• what should happen if the face recognition algorithm finds more than one face in the frame?
