Technology has consistently enabled humans to achieve things that were once deemed impossible. Before, swapping faces with someone is just a funny idea. But now, your imagination doesn't have to work hard to give you the visual of what Person A would look like if he or she had the face of Person B. You can now just upload photos of two people and the app will do the magic for you.
Face swapping has been around for a while, and it has actually evolved from simply interchanging faces of two people using their photos, to the now popular trend of putting your face in the video or gif image of international celebrities.
There are plenty of applications that can do the face-swapping trend. Doublicat or REFACE is among the popular face swap apps that's fast gaining momentum in the Philippines, especially with Pinoy celebrities.
How it works is you upload a selfie and choose a video or gif image of a celebrity you would like to put your face into. And in a matter of seconds, it will generate a video or gif image with your face that is eerily realistic.
Doublicat/REFACE uses the RefaceAI network, which is a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that detects faces in the source video or gif image, extracts your face from the photo you uploaded, and then places your face in the source video or gif.
Users of the face swap apps find the results both terrifying and funny at the same time. Who wouldn't freak out once you see your clone who looks just like you but in a different body, right?
Clearly, face-swapping is a new entertaining trend that everyone should try at least once. Everyone needs a good laugh especially during these trying times.
So, here's a photo gallery of Pinoy celebrities as international stars in the face swap app.
