Japanese developer discovers a way to erase your face using iPhone X

This Japanese developer uses an iPhone X to make his face disappear

If Harry Potterโ€™s invisibility cloak had fascinated you, then Apple iPhone Xโ€™s Face ID camera might have something to interest you.

In a tweet first spotted byย Design Taxi, Kazuya Nosiro, a Japanese app developer and CEO of game development company ViRD, released a 10-second video clip, that shows his face completely camouflaged, except for his eyes and mouth, into his surroundings in a trick of ‘optical camouflage’.

The app (is still a work-in-progress) that Noshiro used to make the trick possible was made on the game development platform โ€˜Unityโ€™. To pre-record the background of the room, Noshiroย first used a fixed camera. Then, he used the app to camouflage his face and replaced it with the background image using iPhone Xโ€™s TrueDepth camera face detection capability and Apple’s ARKit development platform. However, the eyes, the hair, and rest of the body were still visible.

โ€œIf you want to make your face transparent, weโ€™re recruiting,โ€ Noshiro joked.

Check out the video below to see it for yourself:

The app is likely to be exclusive to owners of Appleโ€™s flagship device. However, it is not known when this app will be released and what the app may be actually used for.
