Luxand’s "Time Machine" Lets Everyone Get A Glimpse Into Spookytacular Future
At one time or another, most everyone wished he had a time machine to travel in time and see what he would look like in 20-30 years from now. With Luxand’s new aging software, that’s exactly what users will be able to do.
Luxand Inc. today announces Prophecy Master 1.0, an age morphing computer program that allows anyone to see what they would look like when they grow old.
Today there are many photo-retouching utilities out there that can be used to make us look prettier, sexier, and younger. But none of them are designed to age us. Until now. Luxand has come out with an intriguing software utility called Prophecy Master, which uses the newest face recognition technology to accomplish the transformation from beautiful to unattractive and old in just a second. The technology detects and analyzes the face on the photo, and applies sophisticated mathematical transformations to generate a face of an aging person with the wrinkles, age spots, puffy eyes and other signs of age that a person would acquire in 20-30 years from now.
When the user loads a photo, that’s when Prophecy Master does its truly magic job. The source photo should clearly show the person’s face. The user makes a few image manipulations – pans, zooms, and rotates the photo in the image viewing window to get a full frontal view of the face. After these adjustments, the user clicks the button, and Luxand’s "time machine" goes to work – it brings the face to future in a matter of nanoseconds. The result looks hysterically fun to watch and takes some time to get over the Gee-Whiz factor. When the user gets over it, he can save the photo to a file, or email it to someone he wants to share it with to have fun together.
Prophecy Master is a magic "time machine" that may offer the user a glimpse into the future. It can also make a fun toy to play with. When the user loads a photo of the irritating boss, or ex-partner into the program, the mischievous prankster lurking somewhere deep inside is going to be very, very happy.
