At first, I thought it was that “monkey” spoof of a few years ago; where a site told you your monitor could serve as a camera and all you had to do was start at it and click a bogus “capture” button. When it rendered your picture, it was of something simian. Ha ha.
However, MyHeritage appears to be on the level. They're building face-recognition software and as a proof of concept will try to match a celebrity photo with their database to find a match. The site requires free and generic registration (name, email and location).
For fun, I uploaded my photo (this was shot in November 2005) against their celebrity database and got these results:
For MORE fun (and to test a theory I posted about some time ago), I uploaded Scoble's stock photo and got:
That is just so wrong; Scoble's a good-looking guy, but Depp? And with a hat? And whiskers? I was expecting the photo that I captured in this post: “Scoble: "Ain't life weird?"”.
So, Heritage needs some work for the nonsense I was putting it through. I suspect if you put a picture of Kevin Spacey through the paces you'd get one of the photos from their database.
So .. tell me what you get with your photo.
