Forget normal selfies! Take things to a new level by checking if a face is “real” or “fake”, and whether you’re getting spoofed. How it works? Easy. Just point the front-facing camera towards your face or hold a photo in front of the camera. The brains behind the app will “read” and scan the face to determine if it’s real. Give it a go!
