Look inside
In this quick liveProject, you’ll develop a selfie enhancement application to build awareness of the importance of mask-wearing during a pandemic. You’ll use a laptop webcam to capture a user’s selfie, load a face mask image with a transparent background, and apply the face mask onto the image at the location selected by the user.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
