You are in Emiliusvgs
In this video, I will put aside the tutorials for a while
to tell you about a new augmented reality application
that I love.
This is FaceReplaced
an app that allows you to use
any image to recreate a mask for the face
the name of the application says it all
let's get started!
FaceReplaced works very easily with pets
humans, household objects, stuff
PNG images and much more
First, you must choose the image that you will use as a project.
For this, you can choose an image from your gallery,
as I did with the photo of my dog
​​or you can take a photo of the object directly with the app.
For example, I took a photo of this doll.
Second, once you have the photo,
the app gives you the option to remove the background.
For this you can use the automatic deletion or do it manually
if you make a mistake you can correct it so that it has a better look.
The third step is to adjust the different points of the face,
that is
the points of the nose, eyes, mouth and chin.
This will allow the added object to follow
the natural movements of your face
Once these steps are done you can use it!
Look how it turned out. Funny right?
FaceReplaced uses a combination
of various technologies related
to artificial intelligence and machine learning
Here also appears the neural network landmarks
which was used to detect landmarks of the face
such as those already mentioned before
FaceReplaced is available only for IOS devices.
Also, keep in mind that to visualize
the 3D depth effects in the masks
you will need an iOS device that has TrueDepth
otherwise the app will continue to work but with a flatter appearance.
In my case, I have the iPhone 8, so my experience was 2d
The creator of FaceReplaced is Hart Woolery
founder of 2020CV
company dedicated to creating
augmented reality experiences
machine learning and computer vision
It is the same company that created the InstaSaber
and YoPuppet app, which I once talked about on my social media
So that you understand a little more about this technology
I wanted to do a little exercise.
If we wanted to make this type of filter with Spark AR
we would have to do each detail manually
that is, upload the image,
edit it, add the interactions within the patch
and upload the filter
and of course it would only be for a single image
but with FaceReplaced
you will work in an automated way
where self service allows you to create various experiences
and achieve a surprising result
I hope you liked this video and that you try FaceReplaced
see you next time!
That's all for now
Emiliusvgs says goodbye
Byeee!
