There is a common misconception that visual symmetry is one of the cheif ingredients of beauty, but the Echoism iPhone app helps people put that theory to the test for themselves.
The Echoism iPhone app takes a picture of your face using your phone's camera, and then splits it into a left and right half. Then the app creates two portraits by mirroring these two halves of your appearance to show you what you would look like if your face were symmetrically matched.
