With the getUserÂMeÂdia API, a video eleÂment, a canÂvas eleÂment and LiuLiu’s excelÂlent face detecÂtion algoÂrithm, we can easÂily play around with webÂcam video data in the browser, plug-in free.
Paul Hayes, the developer at Last.fm has created two fun experÂiÂments with face detection, canvas and webcam video. One places a mask over your face as you move and another that attempts to scale conÂtent based on your disÂtance from the screen.
The face detecÂtion only works some of the time. With busy backÂgrounds or low light conÂdiÂtions the detecÂtion fails more often. SomeÂtimes the wrong area is detected, which can lead to radÂiÂcal and jarÂring shifts in the scale. PerÂhaps a rolling averÂage would be a betÂter indiÂcaÂtion, alas he hasn’t built that.

Adaptive Thumbnail Pile Effect with Automatic Grouping is an experimental jQuery plugin that will group thumbnails by a shared data-attribute into a pile. When clicking on the pile, the thumbnails that belong to that pile will be spread into a grid using CSS transitions.
This allows the automatic grouping of thumbnails using a pile effect. The thumbnails will group according to their shared data-pile attribute and once clicked, the pile will disperse and its thumbnails fly to their positions. The thumbnails can be slightly rotated or positioned with a delay.
And best of all, the grid itself is adaptive, meaning that if there is not enough horizontal space considering the width and the gutter of the items, the column count will decrease and the grid will re-order.
Requirements: jQuery Framework
