Facebook has more than 10 billion photos uploaded and is the website full of photos of real people with the faces of many users, both registered and non-registered. With such a rich database and with the possibility of seeing the faces of all the people in the world, it could also be fun to find out if there is one of my impersonators, one that looks particularly like me or that has the identical face to mine!
To find someone who looks like you do not need to go and recognize him by eye because you can use a Facebook application that finds out who is in the world most similar to me, with similar facial features.
UPDATE: The application of this article no longer exists for privacy issues.
To stay on the subject, you can still see other interesting applications including:
- see which celebrity VIP looks like.
- Find out which portrait looks like us with Google Art Selfie
- Compare two faces to see if they look alike on Twins Or Not
- Find similar photos and similar images by looking from your own image
Coca Cola launched a Facebook advertising application where I was able to search for my impersonator .
To use the Coke Zero Facial Profiler you simply have to upload a front photograph, where your face is clearly visible, without ornaments and without hair covering its forehead.
The photo can also be taken, from the application itself, using the webcam.
The only limitation is that the search for the person he looks like is based on those who have already used the online service and have given permission to the Facil Match Finder application on Facebook.
This greatly limits the database of faces among which to find your own impersonator, however it is still a game not to be taken seriously, just to spend 10 minutes of leisure.
Personally I tried the application twice, the first one, uploading my usual passport photo used several times in this type of service.
I had no luck and found nothing so I tried again by taking one with the webcam; this time Facebook has found a guy who should look like me ... taking a photo with my webcam.
To match my face to someone else's, after choosing the image to be used, you have to adapt the photo to the box with the zoom and move it so that the nose is positioned in the center and moving the two crosses at the eyes.
Before pressing the button to see who looks like me, the application must be authorized to insert the photo taken or uploaded to the application database.
After a certain wait of 10 or 20 seconds, you should get the result with the name of the one who resembles you most, with a percentage that indicates how much.
In the end there is the possibility of communicating with the person who looks like you, I don't know very well to tell him what but you can still make friends.
The application, if it remains installed in your profile, will notify you in case of new similarities, when someone, in the world, has had the photo used by me as a result of similarity.
Over time, it can be so interesting to collect all the look-alike that you have around the world.
Overall, the Coca-Cola app is worth a try once or twice, if you really don't have anything better to do, just to have a laugh on the fly.
However, I recommend leaving it installed like this, in a short time, when the database of available images will be richer, maybe you can try again and find more similar results.
