http://hairtry.jp/

You upload your photo, it uses some crazy program to creepily 'animate' your face, and then you can see what you look like with different hairstyles.

directions:
clip skip in lower right hand corner
click button under blurred out portrait (twice) to load your own.
click top black botton to "animate" yourself
drag hair or glasses onto your face to see how they look


3) Many popular topics and aesthetics come together in one video. The Katie Couric part is the best in my humble opinion. Thanks Jason C.
