I can understand that that app does not fly; recognizing faces and showing matching animals outsode the original photo just does not look too enticing.
I can think of various ways to, IMO, make this an interesting app:
- put the heads in the photo, and tween a movie between the two (probably fairly hard because you will have to reliably cut out the background)
- use the camera to record video, animate the animal head in sync with what the head does (ideally, adjust the voice sound; more bass for a bear, twitter for a duck, etc) (probably not too hard to do)
- make it a game: using the camera, "let's see who can make his face best like this elephant", with solo games for practice and for fun ("can you beat your record of ten faces in 30.34 seconds?) (technically simple, but it probably will be a lot of work to get the game 'right', collect funny animal photos that humans can learn to match, etc)
