To mark its 20th anniversary, Orange kicked off the celebration with the #FutureSelf campaign and an interactive online experience where you can talk to your future self. In the spirit of looking ahead for the next 20 years, the experience lets you upload a picture of yourself and then generates a 3D model that estimates how you'll look in the future. To make the interaction as real as possible, the model is coordinated with Faceshift (facial motion capture software), which replicates facial muscle movement.
From there, you'll be able to interact with this future version of yourself over a webcam, asking questions and getting answers about the state of the world, love, money, robots, or anything else that may or may not have significance in the future.
