== Overview ==
What was original going to be a sea creature, which turned into a limited ghost character, has become three animated ghosts in this final project. This time, there are three ghosts that hover around with smoother, more randomized movement, an animation loop, and an accompanying noise. In short, three ghosts hover around any face they see. When the viewer approaches, the ghosts become transparent and cackle.
== Motivation ==
== Technical Description ==
It works using the face detection library opencv, ported to flash. The position of the creature will be mapped to creatures follow the position of someone's face. A tween library in flash causes the ghosts to move smoothly towards a face rather than being a 1-to-1 mapping of the face's position. Face detection also will determine the distance of the face from the computer.
