Japanese producer and technical director Nobumichi Asai has not been quick to share the details behind a new projection mapping system combined with real-time face tracking that is capable of creating animations and virtual makeup on a person’s face. Asai and a team of CGI experts, makeup artists, and graphic designers have used a 3D mesh they developed as well as laser scans of a model’s face to create endless possibilities. Their state of the art technological development has earned the nickname “living makeup.”

Dots that appear on the model’s face are used to transform her face into robotic-like features, different makeup patterns, and even bubbling water via motion tracking. Asai has used a similar projection mapping system on cars, the stage, and buildings before. However, this is the first time his face tracking technology has been demonstrated on a human model. The digital makeup/illustrations stay consistent on the model’s face, even as she moves left, right, up, and down.

The Omote team is unclear as to what their projection mapping system’s real world applications will be. As of now they say it will not be available for general use and will only serve for a tech demo. Thanks to Asai’s background in theater (Omote’s inspiration came from Noh masks which are often featured in Japanese theater), the days of green screen and CGI in film could be numbered.

Nobumichi Asai has used projection mapping to put CGI onto cars, docks, buildings and more. His latest canvas? A real, live human face.

Asai used Omote, a combination of real-time face tracking and projection mapping to transform a model’s face into mesmerizing patterns.
Asai got the idea from Noh masks in how to make them. First he had to create a surface to cover that makes it possible to accurately represent a theme by very delicate make-up art as it’s output was important. Starting from the fact that it is 3D Laser scanning the face of the model fist. The data from the 3D laser scanning becomes a point cloud through the process of mesh. You could also output the mock-up in order to test the tracking and projection.

Dopo il Duomo di Milano nel 2012 o Lione, in Francia il video mapping si evolve lasciando spazio al tracking non più di oggetti statici, ma di un volto umano. Ecco il lavoro di Nobumich Asai che dimostra come si possa intervenire su di un viso umano in tempo reale, utilizzando proiettori di luce ad altissimo.

Japon mucit ve yönetmen Nobumichi Asai insanın durumunu izlemek ve doğru açıda bir üç boyutlu görüntü proje gerçek zamanlı yeteneğine sahip ilginç bir sistem ile geldi.videoda görebilirsiniz.Bu alanda geniş bir deneyime sahiptir,Hareket yüzeyinde nesne izleme ve proje görüntülerin alanında araştırma.Daha önce,inanılmaz güzel kurulum oluşturma,sabit evler,arabalar projeksiyonlar ile denedi. Bu video da olan Japon model Yuki Sekimitsu yüzü ve bu grafik tasarım için bir tuval olarak kullanılmıştır.Tabii bazı küçük hata,yakın çekimler sırasında mevcut…Gelecekte,bu sistemler,günlük hayatta da kullanılabilir…
