Funny Face

This project overlays cartoon features onto faces in meeting videos using p5.js and face-api.js, creating engaging visual effects.

About Funny Face

Using p5.js and face-api.js, this application dynamically overlays cartoon accessories like hats, glasses, and mustaches onto faces detected in meeting videos. It performs real-time face detection, accurately positioning and scaling cartoon elements based on facial landmarks. This creates a fun, interactive visual experience by processing each video frame to add animated overlays that follow facial movements and expressions.

How to Use

Load your meeting video into the application. The system detects faces in each frame using face-api.js. It then overlays selected cartoon features, such as hats or glasses, aligned with facial landmarks via p5.js. The final video with animated cartoon overlays is displayed instantly.
