Thanks to science, you can now change the way a person gazes in a photo in a not at all totally creepy or derpy way.
so that's what it's like to watch Leo watch a brisk tennis match and/or get halfheartedly checked out by the Queen.

Needs the Chuck Jones/Looney Tunes option of the eyes rotating in opposite directions -- left eye rotates ccw, right eye cw. Otherwise...yeah, that's pretty creepy, but I'd agree that it avoids falling into the uncanny valley.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had fun with this. My first impulse was to put my dinosaur toys in front of the screen and get the queen going. "You're a saucy li'l fellow, aren't you," said the queen to the T-rex as she looked him up and down.

Too bad the page won't let me automate the entire grid of pics to get all of them simultaneously rolling their eyes. I'd pay a dollar to see that.

What, you all can't do that on your own? It's a fun party trick and always assured to amuse small children.
(I'm working on going full Marty Feldman and getting the eyes to go opposite directions... so far I can hold either one crossed and roll the other all over, and that's fun)

Sorry if only I had a penguin, that site uses the hostname to map to things so just a ip won't work.

They didn't load for me in Safari, but the worked in Chrome (mac desktop), so obviously they have some browser specific stuff going on.
Looks like the browser would need to support the .webm format which is essentially a video format.

The proposed system takes an input eye region, feature points (anchors) as well as a correction angle and sends them to the multi-scale neural network predicting a flow field. The flow field is then applied to the input image to produce an image of a redirected eyeLook if you are using magic just say magic; no need to dress it up with technobabble.

It is like Come Hither, vs Liar Liar pants on fire. This is why you can't rely on photographs as evidence any more. This is especially in the field of personal investigations. A straightforward image suddenly is manipulated to look askance, or dishonest, or provocative. The Neural Linguistic Programming people will have a heyday with this. There is no longer clear evidence of anything, but subterfuge.

So, sorry iPhone peeps. There are IOS apps that can play WebM.
