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]
