Going Deeper

Going Deeper is an application that can make deepfakes happen. In order to understand the previous statement, one must comprehend the meaning of deepfakes. These are fake videos that have changed the face of the speaker in them with that from a provided photo. Whether you have a use for this or not, depends. It's certain that while harmless when used as pranks or jokes, these types of fakes can also be used to spread fake news and other types of misinformation, something that should not represent a goal in the first place.

The idea is quite simple to grasp. You'll need to upload a video where you'd like the face of the person to be changed. You'll then have to add a picture with the face you'd like to put in the video. The application runs a set of tests, looking for specific characteristics in the photo that can then be emulated in the video. The application then manages to overlap the two types of images, creating a custom video with another individual's face on it.

Generally, this app could be great for creating fun and engaging content. You could create a truly unique birthday card in which the president is the one delivering the birthday speech. You can also create certain pranks or even try to see if you would qualify as a model or advertisement actor. Whatever it is you'd like to do with this app, keep in mind it is powerful and can deceive easily, so it would be advised to use it for fun purposes only.

In terms of the quality of the finished product, although not as smooth as other similar software, it's not bad either. There are few glitches if any to be observed, and the creation and integration process is swift.
