DeepFake

About:

You are the Head of Public Relations at MirrorMinds.ai, a company preparing for the launch of their newest product that allows anyone to create fake videos that look perfectly real. As sole audience member and active participant in this immersive theatrical experience, you will video chat with co-workers, investigate the materials in your office and argue for your own perspective on the appropriate use of AI. It's up to you to make this launch a success... or not. Part puzzle room, part quiet horror story.
Here's a quick summary of our tech stack. The bits that people would most likely be interested in are ElevenLabs (voice cloning) and SyncLabs (lip-syncing).
  • Capture 30 seconds of video/audio with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software, open source)
  • Process and clean audio with ffmpeg (open source)
  • Generate voice clone with ElevenLabs (proprietary). Use the voice clone to create two audio files, one pro-release, one anti-release.
  • Sync audio files with the existing video clip using SyncLabs (proprietary). We now have videos of the audience member seemingly advocating for and against releasing the product.
  • Shut off the audience member's audio/video and use OBS to stream the appropriate video file into Zoom. The technician's Zoom is named "Alex Doe, Head of PR", matching the audience member's Zoom name. This makes it seems like their video feed just came back up, but really it's their deepfake talking. 
We delete the deepfakes, voice clones, and original video/audio footage off of our devices and our cloud storage at the end of each show day, so nothing remains of the audience member's data or likeness. The example deepfake that we used in our explainer video is a friend of ours who gave us permission to use her face in our materials.
