Deep-Live-Cam goes viral, allowing anyone to become a digital doppelganger

Over the past few days, a software package called Deep-Live-Cam has been going viral on social media because it can take the face of a person extracted from a single photo and apply it to a live webcam video source while following pose, lighting, and expressions performed by the person on the webcam. While the results aren't perfect, the software shows how quickly the tech is developing—and how the capability to deceive others remotely is getting dramatically easier over time.

The results shown using a moving flashlight are quite impressive. It is quite amazing though given that this all just works with some free Python code, a normal 2D photo, and a webcam. Yes, it is certainly not perfect, but is good for a laugh with your friends.
