Prosopometamorphopsia (PMO[1]), also known as demon face syndrome, [2] is a visual disorder characterized by altered perceptions of faces. In the perception of a person with the disorder, facial features are distorted in a variety of ways including drooping, swelling, discoloration, and shifts of position.

Polymorphism is the appearance of forms or "morphs" differing in color and number of attributes within a single species. [1]: 163 [2] In Lepidoptera, polymorphism can be seen not only between individuals in a population but also between the sexes as sexual dimorphism, between geographically separated populations in geographical polymorphism and ...
In materials science, a disappearing polymorph is a form of a crystal structure that is suddenly unable to be produced, instead transforming into a different crystal structure with the same chemical composition (a polymorph) during nucleation. [2][3] Sometimes the resulting transformation is extremely hard or impractical to reverse, because the ...
A tetramorph is a symbolic arrangement of four differing elements, or the combination of four disparate elements in one unit. The term is derived from the Greek tetra, meaning four, and morph, shape.

Human image synthesis is technology that can be applied to make believable and even photorealistic renditions [1] [2] of human-likenesses, moving or still. It has effectively existed since the early 2000s. Many films using computer generated imagery have featured synthetic images of human-like characters digitally composited onto the real or ...
