@jjrichardtang Snapchat started the trend. A lot of teams use opensource solutions to build the same apps. I've discovered http://msqrd.me who invented their own crossplatform face tracking and face placement technology. Seems like they have the best quality in the market.
@jjrichardtang we really made this a "catch-all" / utility app -- yes there is ton of face detection tech hitting the market and i think you will see it incorporated in to existing apps (i.e. snapchat) and video streaming and the like -- we really see this as a content creation tool (i.e. we put in a face vertex editor, internet image search, etc) -- so you can basically take any image and turn it into a mask - plus you have the mode to swap with multiple faces on the screen at once and we are working on many additional features
this is our latest app Face Swap Live (first one in a couple years) which uses some crazy face detection stuff under the hood to find a face and its features. We can detect multiple faces at once in a live camera feed at decent FPS but we are limited the number of faces detected to just 2 (for now) -- so you can just point the camera at you & a friends and watch your faces get swapped live. You can also swap with photos where you can put your face in the photo or wear it as a mask.
@tadwook this is greatl! I'd love to chat about potentially partnering up - shoot me an email if you're interested in working with an entertainment brand: baily.hancock@omd.com
