FaceTrack

Vision to actuation in the shortest possible loop

OpenCV finds a face, two servos follow it, and nothing sits between them but a serial line.

What it does

Captures frames, detects a face, computes the forehead point, and sends coordinates over serial. The Arduino maps them to two servo angles.

A bench exercise. No smoothing, no prediction, and it loses the face the moment detection drops a frame.
