Three fun Windows Phone app's from Microsoft Research, Face Swap, Face Mask, and Sketch Match

My Kind of Phone - A Trio of Fun Apps from Microsoft Research

There are three fun Windows Phone 7 apps that have been floating around from Microsoft Research, all of these are the fantastic price of free! So lets take a look and give your new WP7 something fun to do today!

Face Swap

Have you ever thought of swapping your face with someone else’s? Face Swap provides a simple and quick way to swap the faces of people using a photo taken with others.

All you need to do is to take a photo facing the camera or select one you already have, and then shake your phone. Then let Face Swap do its magic! You’ll see the faces are automatically swapped.

Face Mask

Want a fun way to play with photos? Or for reasons like privacy, would you like an easy way to hide a person’s face before sharing a photo? Then Face Mask is the right app for you.

It offers a wide selection of masks/stickers to apply to your favorite photos. Face Mask is a magic tool that enhances your pictures with cool effects. Just take a picture, and add a mask either by a tap or through a shaking gesture.

...

Sketch Match

Do you want to try and practice sketching in a fun way? Do you want to search images by sketching what you’re looking for? Then Sketch Match is a great entertainment app for you!

Here are the main features: -

Get rated on your sketches of given images – Search similar images using a sketch – Keep your sketch history in the gallery – See your sketching rank in the global leaderboard

We've all heard the recent buzz around Face Swap (right?), but what about these other two, Face Mask, Sketch Match?
