Note: This example requires a XML text file (haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml) for the facial recognition (attached). Please ensure that you edit the path in the FS example to match the location of this file on your system!
Once you see your face on the web cam turn on the facial recognition using the switch and (providing you set the path correctly of the XML file), your face will be highlighted and tracked within the window!
