How normal am I? vs Face Distortion

How Normal Am I? is a privacy-focused interactive tool that uses your webcam to analyze facial features such as beauty, age, BMI, gender, and life expectancy. It performs all face detection and analysis locally in your browser, ensuring no personal data is sent to servers.

This tool stands out by combining real-time facial analysis with a strong emphasis on user privacy, running all algorithms on your device rather than relying on cloud processing. It also offers an artistic and educational experience supported by the European Union's Sherpa research program.

Unlike many alternatives, How Normal Am I? allows users to optionally share anonymized data to update average facial metrics, but this sharing is entirely voluntary and respects privacy. The tool works across most browsers, with Safari required on Apple devices due to camera access restrictions.

The project reveals biases and limitations in AI facial analysis by showing how factors like lighting or facial expressions can influence results. It aims to raise awareness about how AI judges faces and the societal implications of such profiling systems.

Face Distortion is a fun iOS photo warping app that bends selfies and portraits with finger-touch controls on iPhone and iPad. You pinch, bump, twirl, or glitch any part of a photo to build exaggerated faces, swap features, or morph body shapes for jokes you can share right away.

Most face filters apply preset stickers. Face Distortion gives you eight manual warp modes, including pinch, bump, linear distortion, hole distortion, glitch, and twirl, so you control exactly how far a nose stretches or a smile puckers. That makes it closer to a pocket caricature tool than a one-tap beauty filter.

Party hosts, meme makers, and anyone who pranks friends on iMessage use it to warp group photos, add funny stickers, and post results to Facebook, email, or MMS. The base app is free on the App Store with optional Pro subscriptions for premium features.
