Face Transformer

Face of the Future is a set of exhibits and tools that allow you to explore "the latest advances in facial computer vision and graphics, and what they mean for society." It's a ton of fun to screw around with.

With the face transformer, you can upload a picture of yourself - prefereably with a plain background - and then transform it a bunch of different ways. As a Super-Tuesday treat, here's George Bush.


That's his real picture (not the 50% chimp transform as you might suspect). And apparently, I'm not the only one to think he looks a bit like a chimp. Check this guy's set of comparison photos.

You can also go for an ethnic transform. Here's one of George Bush as a South Asian:



You can also do the face averager to see what it would look like if you had kids with someone. You just need pictures of the two people and you can slap them together. How much fun is that? Is that reasonable precaution before a second date? "I like you and all, but I just don't think this is going anywhere. Our kids are going to look like George Bush... "
