Couples often get to see what their children will look like when the baby is visualized with ultrasound in utero.
Now, dating site YOUAND.ME is giving would-be couples a chance to see what their offspring may look like with a digital morphing tool.
Simply upload pictures of yourself and your would-be mate and an image of a baby is created showing what one permutation of your kids may look like.
How does it accomplished?
According to the website:
If that’s not enough, soon the website will allow you to ‘join’ with your favorite celebrity and see the results.
Says one user: “Actually, my sweetie is about what I’d imagine my ideal baby would look like. I’m a little nervous as a novice virtual mommy, and I’ve yet to break the news to the virtual daddy.”
Here’s some advice: Be gentle.

According to the website:
The Make Babies feature comprises proprietary technology that does not mix and create images to make a photo-hybrid baby picture. Instead, it utilizes identification and recognition technology to detect specific facial traits and features for creating a virtual baby’s face that resembles the morphing of these features.
