Photorealistic Face Editors

FaceApp Uses Neural Networks to Adjust Facial Expressions in Images

— February 8, 2017 — Tech
For anyone who's taken a picture of themselves only to look back on it later and wish they could have tweaked their expression just a touch, FaceApp is the ideal solution. The app uses neural networks to make photorealistic adjustments to faces in digital images, with all sorts of practical and silly applications.

On the more practical side, FaceApp is able to modify any face such that it looks like it's realistically smiling. Even if the original image contains a neutral facial expression or a frown, the app can adjust all the subtle lines and curvatures of faces to create a facsimile of a smile.

FaceApp's sillier features let users transform their faces in less realistic but more fun ways. For example, the app can add or subtract age, and its "hotness filter" applies effects that make faces more attractive.
Trend Themes
1. Photorealistic Face Editing - The use of neural networks in FaceApp opens up opportunities for creating more realistic and customizable facial expressions in digital images.
2. Realistic Smiling Modifications - FaceApp's ability to transform neutral or frowning expressions into smiling faces has disruptive potential in industries such as social media, entertainment, and advertising.
3. Fun and Playful Face Transformations - With its silly features like age modification and attractiveness filters, FaceApp presents innovative opportunities in the fields of gaming, photo editing, and virtual reality.
Industry Implications
1. Social Media - The realistic face editing capabilities of FaceApp can revolutionize image sharing and personal branding on social media platforms, providing users with enhanced control over their online presence.
2. Entertainment - FaceApp's neural networks can be leveraged in the entertainment industry to create more emotive and customized characters for movies, TV shows, and video games.
3. Advertising - Incorporating FaceApp's photorealistic adjustments can lead to more compelling and relatable advertisements, capturing the attention of consumers through relatable and expressive faces.
