BARCELONA—In our hyper-connected, data-driven working world, augmented reality (AR) headsets are now applicable in more and more mainstream business settings.

Snapchat is testing a new feature that will edit people’s faces into GIFs to create essentially harmless versions of the deepfake videos that have propagated online. The feature, named Snapchat Cameos, is accessed through the Bitmoji button on the Snapchat keyboard. It allows users to take selfies and then have themselves inserted into a selection of pre-made GIFs. The app will then animate the person’s face, including their mouth movements, into the clip, tweaking the selfie to make various facial reactions to fit the chosen GIF. Users may then send the customized GIF to their friends through the app’s chat component. ????????⭐️???? pic.twitter.com/CcVoUXNXXL — Aca (•‿•) (@toddflanderrs) December 7, 2019 C’est la meilleure invention que snap est jamais faite #cameo #snapchat pic.twitter.com/EcRQmGoFsV — FiLiPpinHo ????‍☠️⚪️⚫️QLF (@gregv_) December 7, 2019 Snapchat … [Read more...] about Snapchat Cameo will edit people’s faces into GIFs for harmless deepfakes
