> doesn't work 100% of the time

From the About Us: "Do One Thing and Do It Well." I am surprised that there are no samples showing the filter working correctly. Is it just pasted in the center of the image frame?

We're going to be seeing a lot of face masks before this is all over. I am betting the joke does not age well.

You can see sample in the FAQ. It is not just pasted in the center of the frame. It work by first detecting face, then detecting eyes and so on. Like all computer vision software it has flaw, welcome to the real world. That's why we say not 100% o f the time. Nothing age well but this at least has been proven 100% of the time.

The mask should cover the nose too! Can you modify the algoritm to change the position of the mask?

A few images in the landing page would be better than having the images only in the FAQ.

We added on the landing page the images so it is more straightforward what it does. For the position you are right, nose should be covered, we are working on it.

Thanks for the feedback.
