A company called Wireless Lab has a new app called FaceApp. It uses the power of a neural net to modify photographs. They can add a smile to a portrait where the subject wasn&#8217;t smiling. Other filters make\u00a0a face young\u00a0or\u00a0old, or\u00a0change the gender from male to female or vice versa.\u00a0In a statement, the company\u00a0said,\u00a0\u00abPrisma changes the style of a photo, but keeps the content. FaceApp changes the content, but keeps the style.\u00bb\u00a0Wireless Lab is using a neural net, meaning your image is uploaded to their servers where a bunch of computers apply the filters. In my quick tests, I found the Smile filter works stunningly well. You&#8217;ll see me and Jeff Gamet below both look like women with the Female filter, but it doesn&#8217;t handle our facial hair very well. And\u2014much to my chagrin\u2014neither of us look any\u00a0older with the \u00abOld\u00bb filter, but their own examples are markedly different. The short version is that FaceApp isn&#8217;t perfect, and it&#8217;s little more than a\u00a0novelty at this stage, but humans are getting really, <em>really<\/em> good at altering images in stunning ways. FaceApp is free. [<strong>Update:<\/strong> I reached out to\u00a0Yaroslav Goncharov, the founder and CEO of Wireless Lab, who told me the underlying technology with use. He said, \u00abUsers already sent us photos some of our filters struggle with and it helps us to fine tune our neural nets.\u00bb]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":10223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[],"class_list":["post-10218","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
