A new personalized image search engine developed by a University of Washington computer vision researcher called Dreambit lets a person imagine how they would look a with different a hairstyle or color, or in a different time period, age, country or anything else that can be queried in an image search engine.
After uploading an input photo, you type in a search term — such as “curly hair,” “India” or “1930s.” The software’s algorithms mine Internet photo collections for similar images in that category and seamlessly map the person’s face onto the results.
Beyond obvious fun & beauty applications, tech like this could be amazing for the age-progression work of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
OMG, that site is…interesting. Want to see what you look like in black face? Yellow face? How about what you’d look like after appropriating virtually every culture on the face of this earth. I guess it’s better than going as a native american to coachella…
Hah—maybe the app should be called “Zelig.”
