Attempt with Python
With the python scripts, the emulation’s brightness was not working well with my camera resolution, so I used this block of code to figure it out, and this is what it printed.
I experimented around with the width and height for the largest face, which affects the ratio influencing the brightness.

Attempt with Touch Designer
Attempted to create an emulation with Touch Designer. It KIND OF WORKS? But instead of relation towards distance, or the size of the faces, I tried out using the difference of movement in the screen. A simple wave of the hand from a distance away creates a smaller area of difference compared to doing it up closer.
With experimenting with the threshold and slight delay of images, it can capture a more accurate area of distance. Hence, when the area of difference is large enough, this affects the opacity of the colour on the screen. This, sadly said only works if the subject is moving.

Attempt with Max MSP
Having trouble getting the files to work due to not being able to access and use the webcam, will continue to work and try to solve it. 🙁
