#  FaceDoodle: general presentation and summary

> Help impaired people (reduced arm and hand functioning) draw physical images.

FaceDoodle is more than just a 2D plotter. It's an augmented 2D plotter that uses advanced face tracking technology to draw complex lines and shapes using only face movement! 

Your imagination is its only limit. 

It is the combination of a regular 2D plotter and a face tracking drawing interface measuring the angular movements of the face and representating them by a cursor on a screen.

This guide will walk you through the steps needed to get this plotter up and running from A to Z.
