PhotoFit Me
Would you be a good eyewitness?
Now is your chance to find out with this free app from The Open University.
Select from 100s of features in the app and resize, reposition and adjust the skin tone to create a PhotoFit of yourself and your friends. You can also take our celebrity challenge and re-create the face of a famous person. When you are finished you can send to a friend, share the picture on Facebook or view it in the gallery.
By seeing how tricky it is to create an accurate PhotoFit through piecing together features like a jigsaw, you’ll appreciate why The Open University has helped the police to develop a new system to describe suspects. This new approach uses the whole of the face reflecting the way our brains work – making it easier to recall individual faces.
