Had a quick look earlier using FS9 before relatives turned up, so literally
installed and started up with the default settings.
In the few minutes I had the results were encouraging with movement fairly
fluid and fairly accurate. It did occasionally mess up and look straight
down which resulted in an automatic reset (the software resets the FS view
to straight forward and recommences scanning your face).
In sure with some tweaking of settings I'll be able to get things better,
I'll report back when I have more time to do so...
