- 01
Limited real-world accuracy in varied lighting and angle conditions
Performance drops significantly under low light or when the face is not directly facing the camera
- 02
Dependent on TensorFlow.js, which can be resource-intensive for some devices
Real-time detection may cause performance issues on lower-end mobile devices and older browsers
- 03
Small community support due to niche application focus
Limited user base and few contributions or discussions in the developer forums
What it does well
