That's My Face is a new website that can do more with your uploaded photos than just changing the age, sex or even race. The 3-D rendered images can be made into life-sized mask sculptures called FaceStatues. The crystal versions could be art pieces for your home--like 3-D family portraits. The face images can also be put on less expensive products like tee shirts and mugs.
Upload two photos of yourself--frontal and profile--and let the facial analysis software age you, change your sex and ethnicity, figure out your facial asymmetries, get a caricature, and even compare it with others for attractiveness. The video gives a quick tour of the offerings, including the ability to group people like in a family portrait.
