Idea: ethnicity-warping facial recognition and mirroring

2 pointsby dasmithiiover 10 years ago
I&#x27;m imagining something that would require far more time than I&#x27;m willing to devote, so I figured it&#x27;d be best shared here.<p>This app&#x2F;program&#x2F;whatever would recognize users&#x27; facial structures, decompose them into component parts, and infuse characteristics of an entirely different ethnicity. As a result, people could see &quot;themselves&quot; in the place of others. Maybe (hopefully!) this would result in a humanizing effect towards minorities and those who are generally looked down upon.<p>I suppose a similar idea could be applied with arbitrary differences in appearance (i.e. gender, weight, et cetera).<p>Thoughts?
