If you guys want to see an example of this in action I made a stupid little demo. You can tweet @AWSCloudNinja a selfie and it will replace your face with a ninja mask.

I'm waiting to post the code until the new boto models are out but it's all in python and lambda functions.

(I work for AWS)

Are there other similar services out there or is this completely new?

It looks really awesome.

I know this is silly to ask of a cloud company but some kind of offline mode would be really useful for robotics and for the security example. Maybe it could be limited like you request n specific things you want to recognize and it stores the relevant data locally.

This seems comparable to Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...
