The Perception Laboratory’s Face Transformer

The general public is obsessed with appearance. Concerned people spend gobs of money trying to improve their appearance through surgery or other traditional means. Once cosmetic surgery becomes extremely common, the prices will drop, and before you know it, everyone will look like Joan Rivers. The process from beginning to end will be like going to get your teeth cleaned. A site called The Perception Laboratory’s Face Transformer will provide you with a glimpse of what you could possibly look like in the future, as part of a different race, as a monkey, and so on. Start peeling some bananas.

This probably sounds like a joke, but the results are pretty impressive. To achieve the best results, you should try to upload a passport style photo of yourself to the Web site, however, I used a different type of photo and it came out just fine. The site will ask you a few brief questions to help it render the image accurately, and you’ll then have to crop in on your face and drag eye and mouth guides onto the appropriate parts of your face before you proceed. Now that you’ve done your part, have fun with the image transformations. The Older Adult option really freaked me out. It was just like looking into the future.
