Do you want to look like someone else, say Albert Einstein for example? If you do, then you must know that Yahoo! Japan has got your covered. The company’s Face Stealer app for iOS comes with several masks you could put on top of your face. What the app will do is basically replace your face with another one (the mask that you choose). The very nice thing about Face Stealer is that it does its job in real time.



Using the app is an incredibly simple process. The first thing you need to do is choose the mask you want to use; there’s a set of predefined masks you can choose from, like the aforementioned Albert Einstein mask, or you can create some masks of your own, which is something you’ll be hard pressed to find in other similar apps. Okay, so after you pick a mask, all you have to do is get your face in front of your iPhone’s camera. IN real time, the app will turn your face into someone else.



“You can transform your face into anyone from celebrities, your friends, lover, Mona Lisa to anime characters,” says Yahoo! Japan in the app’s official description. “The app engages with your facial expressions and replaces your face with another person's face in real-time, which let you feel like being someone else.”
