Is there really a project here? Or are you just gauging interest in the wake of the face.com acquisition? According to whois this domain was created only a few days ago.

It's a newer domain because we used to be called 32ar (32ar.com registered 2012-03-23), I've been working on this full time since March.

Glad to see this. In addition to this, I wish there was a project I could contribute to that was focused on keeping Ruby/Pythhon bindings up to date for OpenCV...I mean financially, not in code, as I don't think I'd have much to offer. But even if I wanted to it's not clear how active the current maintainers are in responding to and evaluating pull requests

Not to mention that the bindings are essentially C with Python syntax as they are mainly implement their functionality by causing side-effects :/.

I know a lot of people who will be shocked by the announcement that Face.com will be closing their API. If anything, it was amazingly easy to hack a project together with face.com, not to mention it's academic state-of-the-art recognition. We've been working on this alternative internally for some time. While it's still a private beta, we hope one day to provide the same level of service that Face.com did.

Great timing, I just came here to see if anyone would be able to suggest alternatives. My app Trollaroid is currently using the individual feature coordinates from the Face.com API (most importantly the sides of the mouth), does your service include this?
