New software to help you ‘time travel’
The Hindu ^

Posted on 07/22/2016 7:22:59 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Scientists have developed a new system that can let you imagine how you would look with a different hairstyle and colour, or in another time period, age or country.

After uploading an input photo, you type in a search term — such as “curly hair,” “India” or “1930s,” researchers said.

The software’s algorithms search Internet photo collections for similar images in that category and seamlessly map the person’s face onto the results, they said.

The system called Dreambit developed by researchers from University of Washington in the U.S. lets a person imagine how they would look with a different hairstyle or colour, or in a different time period, age, country or anything else that can be queried in an image search engine.

I would like to go back before I ever heard the name Bill Clinton. This long national nightmare began in 1992.

In other words, photoshop.

People will post their picture on anything.

Everything You Know Is Wrong
by Weird Al
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KThlYHfIVa8

I was walkin’ to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams
When I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension
And soon I was abducted by some aliens from space
Who kinda looked like Jamie Farr

They sucked out my internal organs
And they took some polaroids
And said I was a darn good sport
And as a way of saying thank you
They offered to transport me back to
Any point in history that I would care to go

And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night
So I could pay my phone bill on time
Just then the floating disembodied head of
Colonel Sanders started yelling

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn’t matter

"Do I need to bring my towel?"

Absolutely! We all know that a towel is the most important thing a Hitchhiker/traveler can carry. LOL
