Face of the Future

Face of the Future was a project established in 2005[1] by the University of St Andrews and Perception Lab, funded by the EPSRC.[2] The website contained "Face Transformer", which enables users to transform their face into any ethnicity and age as well as the ability to transform their face into a painting (in the style of either Sandro Botticelli or Amedeo Modigliani).[3][4][5] This process is achieved by combining the user's photograph with an average face.[2][6]

In 2012, Smithsonian Magazine recommended the site to those interested in "seeing how [they would] look in the future".[7] In 2016, The Ringer referred to the site as "a predecessor to those wildly popular weight- and aging-booth apps."[8]
