OMG, This’ll Be Great For Chat Roulette!: Real-Time Face Tracking & Substitution

This is a video of a program that provides real-time facial tracking and replacement with any other face you want without having to cut it off the person like in the old days . I don’t think the technology is that crazy though because even my videochat program can give me a tophat and monocle when I’m on a conference call, but it was interesting to see how all the different faces worked out. Some…were not so hot. Obviously, it still needs some tweaking. Like my nips . Well? GO ON! Hit the jump for a video of dude trying on a bunch of different faces.

Bad Ideas: Barbie Video Girl Has Integrated Video Camera

Barbie Video Girl is a new $50 doll with integrated video camera so girls can make movies of themselves playing in their bedrooms from Barbie’s point of view. This is going to end badly. You dun goofed, Mattel! The Barbie Video Girl Doll ($50, Mattel, for ages 6 and up) looks just like a regular Barbie, but a closer look reveals a camera in her pendant, and a postage-sized color screen on her back, peaking through her blouse. Powered by two AAA batteries (one in each leg), the doll can record up to 30 minutes of Webcam quality AVI video, with a three-button interface. You can watch your recordings on the doll’s screen, but with no sound. Or you can transfer them to your Macintosh or Windows computer by way of the included mini-U.S.B. cable. Granted I would have killed for a He-Man cam growing up so I could have filmed myself playing naked Master of the Universe, but you know what? So would’ve my uncle. Product Site via Lights, Camera, Barbie? [gadgetwise] Thanks to Kate, who sent me a stuffed dino with a camera in the eyes. Nice try, Kate, but I always blindfold him.
