During the workshop the partecipants will get a panoramic on the creative coding platform Openframeworks (http://openframeworks.cc/), to illustrate it we will use as example the theme: "face tracking". The partecipants will see, and code, various practical example of various techniques to track faces in real time, and examples of use of the resulting data to remote control other applications, how to substitute single face feature or full faces using webcam or pre-recorded video, or how to modify single elements of a face. While we will code the face tracking examples we will traverse all the Openframeworks main features, like 2d graphics, real time 3d graphics, how to use add-ons, how to project an application, and all the other of the core functionality of the framework.
