Project GameFace lets you control a computer with your face - yes, this is a feel-good AI story GoogleIO
For Carr, who has no control of any part of his body below his shoulders, controlling his PC to play and stream games would be impossible.
According to Moroney, Project GameFace uses an off-the-shelf webcam and Google's MediaPipe, a system that ties together multiple AI ML models to build a live mesh of 468 points on any face. Those points are converted into telemetry for mouse clicks and movement. MediaPipe has also previously been used to create virtual avatars.
As Carr notes, he's now controlling his computer by making funny faces. In a video on the project, Carr explained that because of muscular dystrophy, he's weaker now than he was when he was a six-month-old."Muscular dystrophy takes, this actually added. The first time I gained something in a physical sense."
