Online Fun With Facial Recognition
How good are you at spotting a fake smile? You can test your success in this quick Spot the Fake smile quiz, brought to you by the BBC. You simply view 20 quick video clips, and judge them as "Genuine" or "Fake". You can only play each clip once, so you must rely on your gut reaction.
More fun with faces. Next, go visit myHeritage.com to use their facial recognition software. For the example you see below, I simply swept up my hair with my hand, snapped a head-on photo with my laptop's video cam, and let the myHeritage.com software scan my pouty mug.
Next, the software did an online photo database search to find the celebrity mugshot that most closely matched my facial characteristics.
The difference between fake and genuine laughter. So when my friends snorted with derision or burst out in laughter at my flattering myHeritage analysis, I could instantly assess that their amusement was genuine.
(Other than being a humanoid, I have nothing in common with Angelina Jolie.)
Still, there will be no living with me now. Or ever.
Who is your celebrity look-alike? Visit myHeritage and find out! And have fun...
