Watch developer Arturo Castro shows off his fancy new FaceTracker API, which allows users to harvest photographs of other folks’ faces, and project them onto their own. Here we see Castro variously becoming Vladimir Lenin, Chairman Mao, and Steve Jobs. Because, why not?
Castro says he built the thing using Kyle McDonald’s ofxFacetracker, Jason Saragih’s facetracker library, and “parts of Kevin Atkinson‘s image clone code.” And other technology words. Quantum.
Obviously the tech isn’t entirely polished just yet, but I’m sufficiently terrified for the moment.
The best part is that Castro is working on a way to steal people’s faces in real-time. So that’ll be fun.
