Overview
The face_camera package is a Flutter plugin designed for real-time face detection using the device's camera. It automatically captures images when a face is detected, making it ideal for use cases like selfies during KYC processes. Built with machine learning, it integrates seamlessly with Android and iOS platforms, offering developers an efficient way to implement face-aware camera functionality without complex setup. The plugin simplifies image capture triggered by facial presence, enhancing user experience in identity verification workflows.
