Vertical image processing with F200

I would like to position my F200 vertically and still use the face module. Is there any way to realise that? At the moment no face will be detected...

I tried this with my own camera, turning it side on, and confirmed that although hand tracking works, face tracking doesn't. This was not surprising, since RealSense refers to a map of facial points. I would speculate that your best chance may be to somehow modify the face-tracking software module so that its internal map is flipped 90 degrees side-on. Intel encourages users to develop their own camera algorithms, though it isn't easy.

Here's the PDF manual for face tracking.

And the one for Unity.

And here's an online doc page with the face-point map.

Edit: it occurs to me that it may be simpler than all this. I haven't used the recently released R200 camera (the mobile tablet version of the camera, available in an externally packaged form for developers) but since tablets are rotated side-on into landscape mode, I would speculate that its R200 camera would have to be able to cope with face-tracking in that side-on orientation. I don't know though.

The R200 camera is apparently supported in an early alpha form in the RealSense SDK at the moment but again, I don't know what the current extent of feature support is.

I found an info page about the R200 that listed the current feature-set of the R200 in the present version of the SDK and the maturity of those features.
