FACE OFF
The face launched by 1000 chips
24 June 2005
Arts Corp. of Tokyo have developed a life-size mannequin with countless faces. Her features are created by internal DVD technology which realistically projects any face onto that of the blank model. A speaker facilitates speech, which is synchronized to lip movements.
Modern film or music stars might be a likely choice for users, though Art Corp. president Jun Ishikawa has cited Cleopatra as one of his goals for creation. The face of the Egyptian queen and other historical figures would be created by computers.
