Mojo Masks is a smart little app that reads a users face and applies a mask to it. Masks look a bit more like greasepaint, which is not to say they don’t work, it’s to say that they are so perfectly applied they look painted onto your skin. The result, for example, is a cat face, vampire face or Mardi Gras mask that moves with your face, smiling, frowning snarling with your every expression as if painted there. It couldn’t be easier to use. Simply select a mask and point the camera at a face. A moment later the mask appears and stays as long as the face stays reasonably inside the frame. Press record and in seconds you have video with sound, ready for sharing. Options include saving to device, email, Facebook and YouTube. It may be silly fun, especially for kids, but it’s also dazzling tech.
