Once the photos have been uploaded to the site, you assist the facial analysis program by lining up markers on the photo against various facial features.

The facial reconstructions contained in this article are mine. While overall I was quite impressed byMy Face at 60 today's re-creation and intrigued to see myself in different racial backgrounds; I can only hope that the aging process will be as kind to me as my facial reconstruction. The changes in my age 60 image were visibly identifiable, but less progressive than expected.

As the site evolves, if the technology is there, it might be interesting to see actual photo modifications so I can learn, in the flesh, what I'll really look like at 60, without the aid of a 3D recreation.

As a professional writer and editor, I just have to put aside my personal discontent (and that of my spellchecker) about the missing apostrophe in the company's name. But, with such an interesting business plan, I can get over it.

Overall, I think this is a trendsetting business for an up-and-coming industry. It's a good business idea that has the potential to evolve into a great one.
