Augment faces
unique and engaging party experience.
The idea behind was to give the audience the experience of traditional portrait drawing but with digitally augmented features. The experience is highly flexible and can be tailored to any specific events.
An artist (Gordey) sketches the guest’s face with the graphic tablet in the specially designed OpenFrameworks application.

Final result
Brush and stroke data are being recorded during the process and sent to the server. The artist prints out the picture for the guest to keep.
Guest can scan the QR code on the picture or type the short link in the phone’s / computer’s browser and see the portrait online being re-iterated with different colors and brushes with every tap / click as well as see the whole process of creation in fast forward playback.
The goal of the experience is to give quests a room to focus on inner self, to engage in the emotional dialog with the artist and to have fun and good memories about the party! The experience is medium-agnostic and easily shareable.
