This uses the camera access from the browser and face recognition (in JS? I need to look at that) to change the HTML font size based on how close you are to the screen.
The technology is cool but the idea is terrible. If I move my head toward the screen, it’s probably because I’m having trouble reading the text so don’t make it smaller!!! 🙂
Update: quite impressive. 228 Kb of minified JS for the face tracker via https://github.com/auduno/headtrackr/

What if the distance between your face and the screen determined how big the font was? Oh wait! Marko Dugonjić just built that!

Ha, that reminds me of those prank modal windows that move when you try to close them. “That text is small, let me get a little closer… WTF?”
The page crashes Chrome for me every time I click to allow it to use the camera. alas.
