Hybrid Portraits

Posted by Dave on 26 March 2006 | 2 Comments

At last Wednesday’s get together we had a look at Aude Oliva‘s Dr. Angry and Mr. Smiles illusion.

So we were wondering if we could use this in a exhibition space and create portraits of the visitors.

Here’s a first go at a self-portrait:

So if you step back from the screen you’ll see me facing to the side, come forward and I turn and smile. This need not be on a computer screen it would work equally well printed out.

So this seems to demonstrate the principle and I’m sure with more effort we could perfect it. This page show you how to do it.

Cheers,
Dave

    I found Daniel Rozin‘s Proxxi composites today - this is a very similar approach - he has a really nice Newton/Einstein example:

    Rozin also has some skyline examples:

    I also found this presentation  from Aude Oliva and colleagues explaining the effect at SIGGRAPPH 2006.
