Project case study
Become a work of art
The camera takes a photo, and a neural network carves the visitor’s face into one of four marble statues; the result goes home by QR code.

The challenge
Let visitors feel classical sculpture personally and leave with a picture they want to share.
What Awake! delivered
Two male and two female statues are ready for the face swap. Processing takes about ten seconds, so the loading screen shows a parallax video of the chosen statue. The finale is a zoom-out: the background moves away and the statue moves away faster. We suggested dropping the “look at the camera, 3-2-1” step and shooting as soon as the visitor makes a choice.
Outcome
The photo zone works in the Travel Gallery; the agency’s feedback: it shows itself perfectly.
