In-browser wish fulfillment.

Things could be better. What if our leaders and public servants modeled science-backed best practices for keeping others safe during a catastrophic pandemic? With Mask-O-Vision, you can catch a glimpse of a slightly saner world.

Any Questions?

We tested Mask-O-Vision on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime, but theoretically it will work with anything you give it!
No, laptops and desktop computers only.
Mask-O-Vision is optimized to protect you from close ups, and it works best on long takes and steady shots. In general, Mask-O-Vision is more effective on color film than black and white, and it doesn't work well with animation.
Mask-O-Vision uses a face detection and tracking library called jeelizFaceFilter that analyzes video frames in realtime and compares them to a neural network derived from thousands of images of faces. When this library is confident it has detected a face, it calculates the face's rotation in 3D space, then uses three.js to superimpose a 3D mask object over the face. Mask-O-Vision requires a lot of processing power, so it currently only supports one mask at a time.
Nope! In fact, most online streaming platforms use DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) to try to keep us from adding masks to their movies. But we're determined. (That's why it takes a couple extra steps to fire up Mask-O-Vision.)

That's not a question.

Mask-O-Vision is developed and maintained without apologies by Jason Eppink and made possible with visionary support from Museum of the Moving Image. Mask-O-Vision is free software that depends on jeelizFaceFilter and three.js. It was improved with valuable contributions from Glenn Cochon (visual design), Mike Lacher (copy), Jacob Reed (title), and Larissa Hayden (branding).
