Aging Machine

Three ages of a woman: as she is now; as she will be if she ages naturally; as she will be on a pack of cigarettes a day.

The Ulster County Health Department will provide free demonstrations for people twelve years old and older using the APRIL® Age Progression Software, also known as the "Aging Machine", at this year’s Women’s Health Expo. The original public exhibition of this face morphing concept was developed through a partnership between the Ontario Science Centre and C.O.RE. Digital Pictures Inc. This computer software program provides personalized, science-based illustrations of how smoking can affect a person's face as it changes with age. Along with the age progression demonstration, the health department will provide educational materials with topics that include obesity and tobacco. Through the free age progressions, and the educational materials, the health department hopes to influence positive lifestyle changes that will improve individuals’ quality of life.

Procedure: Each participant is photographed with a digital camera connected to a computer. Within a few minutes, the picture is processed to show the participant two versions of her/himself – one with the physical affect of the chosen application applied, and one with normal signs of aging. The participants can then draw their own conclusions about what the results mean to them.
