Team Members
Taylor Zeher Thiam

Summary
For the facial recognition we had to focus on the different soft wares that was available. We first used the visual control that wasn't able to take motion detection pictures as we wanted them to. We then shifted our attention to the Yaw cam. With the Yaw cam we were able to take motion detection pictures and capture pictures to save on Picasa. Picasa was able to recognition individual faces in the pictures to be able to use it as an attendance.

Story
We downloaded both the yawcam and the visual control to test out its functions. By testing both of them we took the pictures for it to recognize the faces. Yawcam takes picture with motion.
