Happy Monday! Ready to have your mind blown? By mixing ultra-bright projectors and advanced facial tracking with some damned fine visual design, these guys are able to use their faces as a canvas some truly wild work. Watch on as they morph from human, to alien, to cheetah, to robot overlord on the fly. So how does it work? To oversimplify it: an array of cameras tracks the dots on their faces, akin to the way Hollywood motion capture systems work. They then take some truly amazing texture/animation work and digitally morph it around a model of each guy’s face — essentially making a mask of light — and project it onto their skin in real time. This is actually the second time this group — OMOTE, an artist collective out of Japan — has pulled off something along these lines. While this latest video kicks it up a notch over that first one (if only because they’re “hacking” two faces, instead of one), the first one is still absolutely worth watching: With a bit more (totally hard and not at-all-trivial) work, it’s easy to imagine a system like this being used in live entertainment. Imagine a deadmau5/daft punk style EDM artist who uses this to morph his “mask” in real time, perhaps based on the song being played. u guys can see this video.......https://youtube/watch?v=TGI4oz1QnZo
