This video demonstrates the visual effects of an image processing algorithm on a human face (via:tt/ shien_g1)
The Subject
A person’s facial features—specifically the eyes, mouth, and skin texture—are being tracked and manipulated in real-time.
The Mechanism
The video utilizes a spatial distortion filter. This software uses computer vision to identify facial landmarks and apply a warping effect that disproportionately scales specific areas, such as the eyes, while maintaining the background's relative stability.
The Purpose
The effect is intended for digital entertainment, showcasing how augmented reality can alter human proportions for comedic or surrealist impact.
