Abstract
In this study, we develop a control system for head motion of an average facial color image avatar called FaceAvatar based on laser pointer tracking. The system consists of a laser pointer, a screen, a projector, a PC and a USB camera. Computer graphics of FaceAvatar is projected on the screen through the projector from the PC. Users operate laser pointer to express head motion of FaceAvatar. There are two types of the operational method of the system: wireless and pointer rod. The position data of tracked-laser pointer send to the PC through the USB camera. The effectiveness of the system is confirmed by demontration.
