If you ever wished you had a new face but didn’t want to undergo invasive plastic surgery, there’s an easier way.
As reported by New Scientist, an augmented reality mirror will change the way you look by subtly altering your features. Watch it work here:
For now, the “mirror” is really a webcam and software created by Vlado Kitanovski and Ebroul Izquierdo of the Multimedia and Vision research group at Queen Mary, University of London. New Scientist reports that this software is superior to other augmented reality software because it uses the actual features of the face, instead of synthetic images:
It creates a 3D model of the user’s face that tracks features such as the mouth or nose and warps the video to make them larger or smaller.
So even though this mirror could allow you to see yourself in a different light without invasive procedures, the developers actually hope it will have an application in plastic surgery or makeup application, helping users visualize how they would look.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 4:14amThe problem with society today is that they are either thinking only of themselves or thinking of how the world sees them. No one wants to be real and to be helpful anymore. They want plastic surgery to be altered into “someone”. They do not use what God gave them, or they have preverted it with cosmetic surgery or tattoos. They also pretend to be something or someone they are not.
Report Post »One thing you can say abou Obama, he is real. He has done what he said he was going to do. He didn’t use smoke and mirrors. The sheeple were just to dumb to listen. They were busy looking in the mirror I suppose.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 9:28amSeriously? What the hell does this have to do with Obama?? It’s about a new technology that could help people that really need it, like burn victims that need plastic surgery. Or people with actual disfigurements who want to know how a plastic surgery will turn out. You libs are discusting! ANYTHING can be about how GREAT Obama is according to libs!!
