The success of the experience depends both on the lighting conditions in which you carry it out and the manner in which you present the image to the camera.
Make sure the image is well lit, making certain that there are no shadows or reflections.
Present the image in front of the camera, in a way that the image takes up half of the webcam preview.
Sometimes there is scene inversion (tilted downwards when the panel is upwards). To rectify this, place the panel vertically opposite the camera and then incline it once more.
This problem is also connected with lighting. Increase the lighting, avoid back light and this problem will be reduced.
Avoid back lighting and insufficient lighting, it creates problems because the software has difficulty locating the tracked object. Lighting should be turned up to improve this. If you cannot improve the lighting in the room, add lighting to the top of the terminal.
