Face Swap

Also known as: Face Transformation, Face Replacement

A technology that replaces the face of a person in a video or image with a different face while attempting to preserve the original person's facial expressions, head movements, and lip synchronization. In the context of accessibility, face swap technology has potential applications for enabling Deaf sign language users to communicate anonymously online by replacing their face with a synthetic one while preserving the linguistically significant facial expressions essential to sign language grammar. The technology raises ethical concerns around consent, impersonation, and identity.
