Watch Arturo Castro change his face in real time to Paris Hilton, Fidel Castro, Steve Jobs, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Brad Pitt and even Chairman Mao. The deformed, creepy versions of them, anyway.

Arturo created a software that tracks his own face in real time and then applies a new face texture in 3D, matching the eyes, chin, cheeks and mouth placement. While the effect is far from perfect now, I can imagine this being perfected to the point in which I will be able to have webcam sex with a drunk truck driver from Utah pretending he is actually Monica Bellucci.
