JANUARY 3 Face Hacking- Real-Time Face Tracking & 3D Projection Mapping
Real-time face tracking and 3D projection mapping is a fairly new technology. Japanese technical director/producer Nobumichi Asai has created this amazing video displaying the amazing art show. This video superbly showcases how this combined technology can transform faces instantly, morphing them into various effects. This opens up a world of possibilities for global make-up brands and, perhaps theatrical performances.
While you wrestle with your own personal growth and development. The future is quickly making its presence known. You can choose to identify however you wish, belong to groups or clubs, all the while life is forcing us to look from the inside-out and outside-in being all inclusive rather than thinking in terms of ageless exclusivity. Simply put, we are evolving as a whole, not just parts. Science, art, technology, and music are just pieces to the puzzle.
The puzzle is yet another piece of a bigger picture and the bigger picture is but a snapshot in the scrapbook we call life. This continues Ad Infinitum. Forever. Forever will we be growing, learning, exploring the infinite. At issue is that forever is catching up to our today, this makes many people uneasy, intolerant, and nervous.

“Relationships are at the core of our being. We are hardwired for them. Our initial human connection is with the heartbeat of our mother and from that point, we may sense that we are not alone in the vastness of existence, even if we don’t have the language to express it. Physical and emotional nourishment flow from there.
Once we are born into world, we seek that connection with family, friends and the larger community. We create links with those who cross our paths; working, playing and learning with them, whether they are human or other species. They enrich our lives. They often challenge our perceptions of ourselves; sometimes in ways that surprise and delight us, and at other times, in a manner that we wish would not have been so.
Each time, we face a choice point: to run from these experiences, or to embrace them. What I have found, after 55 years on the planet and having had multiple short-term and long-term relationships, is this undeniable truth: Love is never wasted. Regardless of the duration, the depth or the death of the dance we might have done with another, we carry with us the imprint of the connection we have shared.”
It Is What It Is
