Have you ever wondered how you might look basking in the sun at the foot of an ancient Egyptian pyramid 5,000 years ago? Me neither. But if you were ever to become curious about such a thing, then Google has you covered with its latest Arts & Culture App feature: Art Selfie 2.
Art Selfie 2: Selfies in time
The original Art Selfie was a feature of the Arts & Culture App launched in 2018 that let users find their lookalikes throughout the history of art using facial recognition and machine learning. It was a small experiment to help encourage people to learn more about art.
Art Selfie 2 takes things a little further, moving on from facial recognition to generative AI. Here you'll be able to transform selfies of you or a group of friends into era-familiar images inspired by some of the greatest artwork of all time — bonnets and wigs included at no additional cost.
From famous photographs to iconic artworks, you can place yourself into history while learning more about key moments from art and culture the world over. This can be anything from a selfie atop Mount Everest, a snapshot during the Woodstock Festival, or being re-imagined as a dandy or dapper gent from the 1800s as you wander through Monet's Garden.
Take a look at some examples of what the app can throw together below, from Egyptians to Roman gladiators!
