headtrackr is a JavaScript library for real-time face tracking and head tracking via a webcam using WebRTC/getUserMedia. It estimates the user's head position relative to the screen and emits events that can drive pseudo-3D head-coupled perspective effects, e.g. with three.js.

Use cases

• track a user's head position via webcam in the browser
• build head-coupled perspective pseudo-3D effects on a website
• detect and track faces in real time from a webcam stream
• create webcam-controlled games or interactive demos
• add parallax or gaze-like interaction to web pages

When to choose

• you need browser-based head or face tracking without server-side processing
• you want to build head-coupled 3D perspective effects with three.js
• your project relies on WebRTC/getUserMedia webcam access

When to avoid

• you need modern, actively maintained computer vision features
• you require robust tracking across diverse lighting, angles, or devices
• you need server-side or native (non-browser) face tracking
• you need a library with an explicit license for commercial use
