Very cool! Love that it's about bringing joy to kids. Some of tech/AI feels soul-sucking at the moment. Can you tell us more about the technical challenges of making something like this run real-time locally? How do the methods compare to things like Apple's Animjois and TikTok's facial filters? And do you have plans to bring voice changes as well? Again, nice work!

thanks! those are photographs of non-existing Santas generated with diffusion models like Dall-E, Midjourney or SD, animated with a GAN-like architecture. There is no depth involved as for other methods you mention, just user-rgb-in -> Santas out.

There is a simple voice changer as post-processing but nothing too fancy.
