Not everybody of us takes aging gracefully, neither they actively look forward to the aging process. And a variety of anti-aging products re cherry on the top of your old age concerns. A huge variety like wrinkle prevention and removal creams, hair dyes, and skin revitalizers are all available because people fear aging. Surprisingly, there is a term for aging phobic people; Gerascophobia.
But the good news is that there is something new in the world if artificial intelligence that can help you make a bit relax on your looks while you age.
In the long queue of the number of challenges poping our social media accounts daily, next is the faceApp challenge. You might have noticed a sharp rise in the number of people posting ‘old person’ selfies on social media. Have a look at the source of these awesome, hilarious but realistic selifes.
The pictures are coming from the product of an app named FaceApp, which has taken the internet by storm. Netizens are going crazy for the celebs posting their old age face pictures, and cant wait to see themselves to saying personifying the phrase ‘aging like wine’.
Though it’s not a new app, like Snapchat’s baby face and gender swap filters, its users are enjoying its latest AR flirt; aging. By using this filter on any pic, the app spits back an image of them looking considerably older, with what you could probably consider frightening accuracy. The results are surprisingly quite real and accurate. Some filters allow you to go back in time, which aren’t as scary or realistic, but pretty impressive all the same.
Meanwhile, there are other filter options as well on the app, if any of the users want to age a selfie. It can make the user look younger, making it more attractive, and a gender-bending feature that means changing male selfies to females and vice versa. All you need to do is that the pictures have to be uploaded to FaceApp’s servers for processing, but at the time we tested it it was only taking a few seconds from tap to finished effect. There are other apps in the play store as well that intentionally change a picture in a way it is entertaining, but not a real photo anymore, and FaceApp has turned out to be the best.
Here’s the step to see yourself as an older person:
- Install the app on your Android and iOS phone
- Head to the camera and click a selfie or you can select a picture from your phone gallery.
- One this is done, the app will process the photo and display the filters that you can choose to edit your picture.
- There are a number of filters, including old age one where your photo will be transformed into an image of an old person.
- Select the filter of your choice and then tap on done
As aging is inevitable, and everybody has understandable fears about how aging will affect us. The worrisome things are many from how their health risks may change to how their physical appearance will change. But one has to understand that worrying about things that will happen when we age will not change a thing. And if there is anything it is able to change is the health condition, because it causes a lot of stress, that we cannot handle. We suggest you take care of your health so that you can actually age like a fine wine!
