The Facetious application

Since the application we are going to create in this chapter will give us a lot of fun by applying funny masks onto detected faces in real time, I name the application Facetious. The first thing that the Facetious application could do is open a webcam and play the video feed from it. That is the work we had done in our Gazer application, which was built by us in the preceding chapter. So here, I will borrow the skeleton of the Gazer application as the basis of our new application. The plan is, first, we make a copy of Gazer, rename it to Facetious, delete the features about motion detecting and change the video recording feature into a new feature of photo taking. By doing so, we will get a simple and clean application onto which we can add our new features of faces and facial landmark detecting.
