Apparently most of us will sooner or later come to think, what happens when all of mankind comes to a stop? Will the world still be around? While we don’t have the answers to that, we can always visualize in our own little way what the world would look like. Apparently you can use your iPhone do somehow foresee how the world would look like in the distant future given those constraints.
HISTORY has today launched its first iPhone and iPod Touch application, the Life After People Photo Ager, which helps to answer that question. The free application is available for download at Apple’s iTunes store and allows users to “age” images by adding cracks, holes, mold, dirt, vines, plants and even stray animals and rusty bicycles to photos that can be saved for later and shared with friends.
The Life After People Photo Ager is simple to use. Photos can be imported from the user’s own photo library, or users can take their own new photos to “age.” Also part of the application is a “Location Explorer” that lets users page through a unique photo gallery of famous locations – all accompanied by historical descriptions – and then slide a finger along a scroll bar to visually progress its aging process in order to see what it would look like after people. Customizable postcards allow users to share an aged photo, along with a personalized message, with friends.
