Fun way for would-be moms and pops to see a future child

Have you ever wondered what your future baby would look like when it finally comes around? Which facial features it would inherit from you and from someone you’re in love with? Now you can stop your guesswork and satisfy your curiosity with a clever piece of software called BabyMaker!

Luxand, Inc. today announces BabyMaker 1.0, a fun computer program specifically designed to let couples morph their photos and see a digitally created face of the future baby.

To morph a child picture, BabyMaker relies on the revolutionary facial recognition technology from Luxand. The technology allows morphing two digital photos together to generate a high-resolution picture. To accomplish this, the program carefully analyses the faces of the two would-be parents, detects their most prominent facial characteristics and applies some advanced mathematical transformations to generate an exact physical manifestation of a child. The quality of a source image doesn’t really matter. You can load in scratched, faded, or black and white photos and still get a color rich, high quality rendering of a baby face.

The software works like magic. To get started, you first load the digital image of you into the BabyMaker editor. Then you manipulate the photo – pan, zoom and rotate it to get a full frontal view of the face. Repeat the same process to load the photo of your partner. Once the photos are all in, the program makes some sophisticated calculation, and voila! In just a couple of seconds, you’ll see the photorealistic picture of your future diaper wearer.

After you have created the picture, you can share it with other people. To do so, save it to a file and embellish it in the other image editing software by placing the baby within a greeting card or a portrait frame. Then you can print the portrait to paper and hang it on the wall, or email the greeting card to your beloved and have fun together!

BabyMaker is a fun program that becomes addictive after a little while. Once you have combined yourself with your spouse, partner and friends, you may find yourself spreading your genes throughout Hollywood! With BabyMaker, you are only limited by a number of photos you have on the computer.

Available now, BabyMaker costs $19.95 (USD).
