Face-swapping and film. Be the Hero
There are a few apps out there that can identify faces and superimpose a different face on them.
It is hilarious.This is called Face-swapping, and is available as a dedicated app or a feature in Snapchat, Msqrd and soon on Facebook Messenger.

Its fun to do with friends. and has tons of interesting possibilities when applied to television.
One of the amazing uses of this technology which that stands out to me right away is Immersive FILM.
Imagine an app that allows you to scan your face (and your friends) and superimpose the faces onto film characters in a movie.You and your friends could be the Avengers !
Customized movies featuring a cast of your choosing! How cool is that?
Remaking movies with different actors (voice modulating will probably be the next innovation to improve on this fun new feature)Now of course there are some concerns over the many uses of this technology.
Impersonation of political members, privacy issues, and of course...the adult industry starts playing around with faceswapping.

Discord even shut down a chat group that shared fake celebrity porn edited with artificial intelligence
It should be interesting to see how this technology evolves and starts playing a more active role in our lives as it is integrated with 360 video, games, Facebook Spaces, Film, commercials. The list goes on...
