Roads to innovation are sometimes surprising. As an example, a researcher at the University of Toronto (UT) used facial-recognition software developed by his professor several years ago and adapted it for plastic surgeons and their patients. This new software allows you to see very quickly how you would look like with different facial features. This is not the first application that can simulate the results of plastic surgery, but this one is entirely automated. And Modiface — the name of this AI-based software — can recognize a face in a single second and updates its own algorithms automatically as it gains more experience.
