Face it

Nature is absolutely amazing and has designed the structure of our bodies to do many things! Our bodies are relativity symmetrical and balanced!

Upon doing this project, I had no idea that our faces had so much information in them!

Here's a short video showing a program that analyzes the human face with Phi:




The golden ration can be found in many faces! Here are a couple of examples that I found: 

   

Even in our teeth!

     In the human face your eyes, mouth, and nose make up the key characteristics that determine the basic golden ratio dimensions from which comparisons can be made! Everyone's face is different, but that makes a beautiful variation!

     There has been many studies on phi and its significance in the human face. A facial surgeon, Dr. Stephen Marquardt has analyzed and studied the human face for years. It is said that through his research he discovered that beauty is not only related to phi but "can be defined for both genders and for all faces, cultures and eras with the Marquardt Beauty Mask". The Marquardt beauty mask is something that he developed, patented and discovered himself.   (http://www.beautyanalysis.com/)

this mask uses a pentagon and decagon for its foundation


Here it is applied to a human face and even some sculptures

Anyone who has a smartphone probably uses the popular app called Snapchat! The most recent update has a very interesting facial recognition feature! Where you simply tap your face in "selfie mode" and a facial recognition pattern will then appear and map your face!



I was going to try and take a screenshot of my face while it was mapping my face, but it happens so fast, so i found an example from online!

Here's a video of someone actually using the app!
