Idea: ethnicity-warping facial recognition and mirroring

2 points by dasmithii ↗ HN
I'm imagining something that would require far more time than I'm willing to devote, so I figured it'd be best shared here.

This app/program/whatever would recognize users' facial structures, decompose them into component parts, and infuse characteristics of an entirely different ethnicity. As a result, people could see "themselves" in the place of others. Maybe (hopefully!) this would result in a humanizing effect towards minorities and those who are generally looked down upon.

I suppose a similar idea could be applied with arbitrary differences in appearance (i.e. gender, weight, et cetera).

Thoughts?
