This is a facial mapping project by Ouchhh Creative New Media Agency. The project basically tracks the facial movement of the model and projects images onto her face. Images were projected onto the model’s face while she is shaking her head constantly and slowly to create certain atmosphere and convey the feeling.
Why is it interesting
I find this project interesting because the projection was perfectly mapped onto every corner of the model’s face and her face only. Even at some point when the only side face was shown, the projection remain the feeling of three dimensional effect. The projection also expand the space from purely a face to a whole new world. But as there is no facial expression by the model, it leads me to think what would be supplemented to this kind of real-time facial tracking project if the feeling could be strengthened by expression.
Technology Behind
The two main part of technology adopted by this project would be facial tracking and projecting. I would assume that a facial tracking camera was used to capture the image of this model and some AI algorithms was used to detect the face and analyzed the position of each part on the face. Once the position was determined, the images were then projected onto the corresponding part.
