[Bf-committers] GSoC 2013 - Motion Tracking

[Joseph Mansfield]

Thanks for your advice, but I think I might have been unclear. Sorry! I'm
absolutely a software developer, interested in diving into the Blender
source and helping to improve the motion tracking functionality. I'm not
planning to do a hardware project (and I'm not sure it would even be valid
for the GSoC grant). The only reason I mentioned the VR headset is because
its part of my computer vision dissertation - not related to my Blender
proposal!
