Abstract
In some embodiments, users' experience of engaging with augmented reality technology is enhanced by providing a process, referred to as face animation synthesis, that replaces an actor's face in the frames of a video with a user's face from the user's portrait image. The resulting face in the frames of the video retains the facial expressions, as well as color and lighting, of the actor's face but, at the same time, has the likeness of the user's face. An example face animation synthesis experience can be made available to uses of a messaging system by providing a face animation synthesis augmented reality component.
