Mask Jumble Halloween
© 2012 Pi'ikea Street
This is one of the early children's face recognition apps. You stare into a ’mirror’ on-screen, and mask pieces are projected in real-time onto your face by way of your front-camera. There is directed play, where the child draws a card, and then has to match all the correct pieces, free-play (with no card drawn) where the child can freely explore and create a silly combination, and a face recognition enabled catch game where the child has to move their real mouth in the mirror to catch falling treats. After catching all the treats, a new mask is unlocked. Note: to render the animal-you, the app must be able to see your whole face clearly, the lighting should not be too bright or too dark, and you must hold the device steady and keep your face centered in the mirror.
