Face Detection/Recognition with free version of Unity

Hi everybody,

The first step of my application is to use the camera of the mobile device to detect the user’s face. At the moment, my application displays the camera on a WebCamTexture. My problem is that after a lot of research, I can’t find any solution for the free version of Unity.

I tried to install EmguCV and when i finally managed to install it properly, I noticed that a lot of the functions I need to detect the face are for the Pro version of Unity only.

I also tested Vuforia that is an Augmented Reality plugin but I’m not sure the face detection can be done with this plugin. Does anyone know if it is possible to use it to detect user’s face ? If yes, do you have any links that could help me ? If no, what can I use to detect a face using the free version of Unity ?

The second step of my application will be to recognize the user using the face recognition. At the moment, I didn’t find something that could work with the free version of Unity. Does anyone have an idea of what i could try to use ?

I’m using Unity for only 1-2 weeks now therefore I’m still a beginner and any tip is good to take.

Thank you in advance.

Another reply from 4 years ago? Probably best to open a new thread with updated information. FYI I don’t believe Pro vs Free would play a role here.

Yes a new thread will be better,
Anyway, checkout OpenCV library for C#, didn’t use it myself but heard about it
