Real Time Digital Face Replacement

[HardOCP News]

Some of these faces are just creepy but some are actually pretty good. Warning, the Michael Jackson face is as freaky as the real one used to be.

Brad Pitt and the one before it looked awesome.

Obama, on the other hand, looked horrible.

 

[TheBuzzer]

some looks cool but most looks freaky

Once he gets the color matching down some more that's gonna get real awesome really quick.

Using the same tech to animate avatars was much more impressive to me:

Nice. ^^ The one posted is a bit disturbing...

 

[FndTheRver]

Creepy, in an old man staring at young boys kind of way.

damn that is impressive

 

[TechLarry]

Lets see it do Danny Trejo. Then I'll be impressed.

 

[Elf_Boy]

pretty immature technology. Might pose security problems once it is working though.

Not too bad for a first attempt... I can see this getting scary accurate in the future, I mean ok Michael Jackson was pretty spot on with all the sharp angles on the face, but imagine having Obama (or whomever is president at the time) doing a video chat telling people to do things and you can't tell the difference!

 

[Decibel]

Well shit... It's not like I ever needed to sleep again. Ever.

This would be really good for animating an all CGI face, not as good for masking your own.

Kinda reminds me of The Toxic Avenger that is sitting in my local jail:

Warning: fucked up.

I imagine realistically, that within 100 years people will truly be able to hit a surgeon in one day to look like anyone they want. Instant plastic digitization surgery.

Andy Warhol was a zombie in real life and Marilyn can make anyone look good.

 

[hardware_failure]

They should have used a model with shorter hair.

 

[Pkirk618]

innovative for sure. When polished, this will be crazy!

 

[stoney_titan]

looks like bad character facial animations in video games pre-2004.

 

[Dman2280]

yeah the faces look pretty bad.

who thinks of crap like this lol

 

[Taldren]

He sure has a lot of pictures of socialists.

It works pretty well. Works best apparently if the source photo does not have any teeth showing. Notice how the program was mapping teeth on his lips on a bunch of them?
