Be amazed at "Omote," an unbelievable system that uses motion tracking and projection mapping systems to project computer graphics onto a human face.

Omote is the child of collaboration between Japanese artist Nobumchi Asai and CGI experts, make-up artists and graphic designers.

Projecting graphics onto flat surfaces, mostly walls, ceilings or even sides of buildings isn't anything new. This is the first time graphics are being projected onto a face of a person, however.

Asai previously worked with companies such as Subaru to project computer graphics onto stationary objects. The new technology he created works by adapting to the movements of a person's face.

Because of its use on the face, Omote is deemed as basically "electronic make-up," able to project anything onto a human being's face.

Although specifics about the system have yet to be released, a video of how the system works is available online. The clip shows how the system first scans and maps the face, taking note of every detail, every crease.

After scanning, Omote proceeds to project computer graphics onto the face. The graphics, in turn, overlay the contours of the face and follows it as it moves.

Asai's innovation is nevertheless impressive despite the limits of the technology.

Asai, who has also worked in theater, believes Omote may also be used on actors onstage, serving as a spectacular addition to productions.

Microsoft is also currently working on an immersive technology centered around the projection of computer graphics onto subjects.

The environment is called "IllumiRoom" and Microsoft has intentions of expanding its capabilities to the Xbox.

If the collaboration proves successful, gamers will be able to view the games they're playing on the surfaces of their room.
