01 / Overview

The transition of movies from film to digitalization has brought about more efficient production processes and diverse visual effects. Viewers can experience the filming and production techniques of digital movies by interacting with the screen in front of them. When visitors stands in front of the screen, the device will automatically capture their facial information and accurately match it with the faces of the digital characters on the screen in real time, and watch the synthesized video.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

(1) The traditional makeup technique of changing faces with physical objects. Early film face changing techniques were an extension of physical makeup techniques. Physical face swapping is a process in which makeup artists reconstruct various facial features in three-dimensional structures using materials such as plaster, silicone, hair, and paint, based on the actor's original face, in order to reshape a new image. The advantages of physical makeup are fast implementation, low material cost, and high degree of facial three-dimensional transformation. Physical face swapping is a traditional makeup technique that has been used to this day and has become one of the standard techniques in the film industry. On the one hand, the production cost of CG special effects is relatively low, and on the other hand, actors wearing makeup will perform more deeply into their characters, enhancing the authenticity of the movie on the screen. However, the physical face changing technique highly relies on the precise control of facial 3D features by special effects makeup artists and their proficient comprehensive use of makeup materials. Secondly, the burden on actors is heavy, and their ability to express emotions is limited. That's also why the characters in physical face swapping techniques are often set as non-human characters.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
