Omote is a new technology by Nobumichi Asai that is changing the special effects world. Omote uses face tracking technology to take live performances and transform them into something else entirely.
What that means is that an actor standing on a stage giving a performance can have a complicated, special effects like appearance while actually wearing only a few tracking dots.
Tracer dots are placed on the face of the subject and then scanned.
After that the Omote projects an artists rendering onto their face.
This can be something as simple as a darker lipstick, thicker eyebrows, and some eyeliner.
Or it could mean a second act reveal that the main character has actually been a ROBOT the entire time!
None of this is makeup, or green screen, or edited special effects. It is all projected onto the actor’s face meaning that anything you see a real life audience would see in person.
