I need to extend the camera from it's circuit board and mount it in something like a cable dot on the side of the head facing forward. At the moment she looks borg. Not good. This is for department stores for women's fashion. Can I separate the camera with wires so its just a tiny dot?
How do I do that please?
PS The camera will definitely not be placed in the face of this particular mannequin head - It will be under the chin or facing forward from the ear.
I guess I don't understand why the camera needs to be in a "certain location" as you say. Won't it fit anywhere else? What's stopping it from being relocated or am I misreading this?
I'm suggesting that the camera be taken out of it's case and placed inside the robot so it's completely out of sight except for the small dark lens peeking through a small hole. Reading the OP's remarks it sounds like he want's the camera moved to a hidden spot and not hanging off the side of the head like a huge wart. Understandable. I don't think the camera lens needs to be removed. just place the small board with the lens still attached inside the robot.
Yep i'm on the same page as you 100% and suggested the same thing.
If it had black eyes, then the camera could be fitted inside one of them, or even sunglasses, a neck chain with a pendant, etc.
But it seems the face needs to be clean with no signs of anything just a blank face.
Worse case scenario would be to not even install the camera on the mannequin, but rather behind it somewhere either hidden on a wall or on a stand, etc.
Is it actually possible to do proper head tracking if the camera is not firmly facing out of the head and is stationary on a wall - if so, how would the head track people? Obviously if the explanation is ridiculously difficult I won't do it.
I know I could replace the white blank face with a different face that has eyes but that would be a different and much easier thing to achieve. I need to solve this one first. Blank face that can do facial tracking.
Can the camera be extended out of the board? Can a different camera be plugged into the board? Can a different board be used and the wires made compatible (easily) with ezbv4?
A small hole on the chin angled upwards to align with the mannequin's 'eye direction' is the most realistic suggestion I've heard so far, but I would rather not drill a hole in the chin - also this would probably require a lens over a big hole to counteract depth constraints. I wonder if a lens covering over a hole drilled into her forehead would look as ugly as a black dot - probably. The face looks good sheen.
Please keep the ideas coming - preferably about the camera board modifications and compatibilities. I'm quite convinced the camera is going to need to remain over her 'ear', but much smaller. If necessary I will stick half the naked board out of the side of her head so she has one ear(!) but I'd rather it was small and round.
Also, if you know any one way white material that has been invented (like one way mirror) than that would solve it. I guess if her face was gold or silver or black this would be a lot easier.
Maybe a 5mm periscope...
How can a hole in the chin be the most realistic? confused
Sorry if i come across a little rude here but the chin would be taking a huge leap backwards...
Sorry i'm opting out, your asking the same questions over again which have all been answered.
The most viable. I agree the chin would look better without a hole in it.
Bye! Thanks for you're contributions! Alright everyone, we have to stop thinking now. All questions have been answered apparently.
@Zxen,
sorry by opting out i mean i can't help any further, i just don't know enough about it sorry again.
@Zxen
the hole required for the camera lens would be about 2mm in diameter. the camera would look through it from within the chin, neck chest, eyes etc..
