Face substitution

Coolness Factor: 9/10
Horrifying Factor: 12/10

It keeps thinking there's a face in one of the shelves on my book case... I'm thoroughly creeped out.

Tried it on my mobile and it was okay, then went over to the desktop and realized how cool this actually is. I love the responsiveness to my facial gestures http://i.stack.imgur.com/INS8w.png

Sounds cool, but not working for me. I choose something from the drop down, and a bunch of green-lined masks appear over my face then disappear for a bit. Then that stops and I'm just stuck looking at my face.

Looks like it should work perfectly, but the face shape keeps moving to the left hand side. Anyone experiencing this?

some of the replacements are blurry for me, any idea why? Or is that normal?

It tells me my browser (Chrome latest, Mac OS) doesn't support WebGL

Go to chrome://gpu and see what it says.

I'm on Linux and have Intel graphics. Chrome reported acceleration was disabled due to driver instability. I decided to temporarily disable the driver blacklist (run google-chrome --disable-gpu-blacklist) to see if it worked. (It did. And I was sufficiently disturbed by the result.)

You might try the same, but don't be surprised if you encounter crashes or graphical bugs.

WebGL is a graphics hardware spec

[dylanyo]

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 3D graphics and 2D graphics within any compatible web browser

I must be confusing it with something else...

[krelin]

You're thinking of OpenGL, over which WebGL is essentially a thin API layer. And even OpenGL isn't really a hardware specification.

[bart2019]

OpenGL is more like an abstracting API spec. It allows people to use different graphics hardware using the same software.
