    Seems to me you could have just had Jetty/OpenCV send back the coords of the faces, then have Javascript draw a box around them. Would have saved quite a bit of bandwidth and removed the need for experimental APIs.

    Try this version too: http://neave.com/webcam/html5/face/

    It doesn't require WebSockets or Jetty. Just good ol' JavaScript/HTML5. Nothing more.

    Where's the demo link? I couldn't find one, but I'm assuming nobody would write an HTML5 tutorial without a link to a demo page...

    s/HTML5/HTML-ng/

    Just because HTML5 != work in every HTML5 browser. "Numbers don't mean anything anymore they say". Well for HTML5 thats pretty much spot on.. and that's unfortunate.

    The demo's cool tho :)
