I'm mostly impressed by the image analysis. Performance and the fact that it runs on javascript. Well I've heard of ccv.js before but not seen it's capabilities for pixel analysis. Now I have even less excuses to reimplement that broken real time image analysis app that I made for my bachelor thesis. Hmm, there are no explicit licence terms in the repositories of ccv or headtrackr though. :/

#25Cool, another potential tool against poorly readable sites. I just created http://cantheysee.it/ for web developers to (roughly) simulate and test for users with poor eyesight.
My eyesight is not great, but having a font that is too thin doesn't help either.
I wish body text just stayed in either serif or sans-serif at 1em. Use custom fonts for headers, but let my browser preferences determine the body text.

Whatever that font is (Source Pro Sans), it's fairly unreadable to me (Chrome on Ubuntu). My eyesight is not great, but having a font that is too thin doesn't help either. I wish body text just stayed in either serif or sans-serif at 1em. Use custom fonts for headers, but let my browser preferences determine the body text.

Fixed, you're absolutely right - that font should only be used for headers.

#30I don't have a webcam installed on this machine so I can't test the implementation but what a BRILLIANT idea. This is exactly how cellphones should work; judge distance and then resize the reading pane to accommodate.
