MusicFace
Music-driven Emotionally Expressive Face (MusicFace) creates 'facial choreography' driven by musical input. Structural and emotion data are extracted from the music via a fuzzy rule based system and remapped to 'equivelents' in face space. more

GenFace - Exploring FaceSpace with Genetic Algorithms
genFace uses a genetic algorithm technique to search through a large multi-dimensional space of correlated faces -- making it possible to traverse a path from any face to any other face,
morphing through locally similar faces along that path. more
