Kate Middleton and Prince William's eldest child is one of the most popular tots in the world. The young prince exudes an infinite charm that makes him so adorable. Whatever he wears set a new trend, he definitely got the Duchess of Cambridge's fashion. But, have you ever thought how this little kid will look like when he's all grown-up?
If it didn't cross your mind, well it did for some. A group of scientist in the UK claimed that they accurately predicted Prince George's look throughout his life. The computer science team revealed how the technology produced the result, 9 News.com.au reported.
Visual Computing Professor Hassan Ugail and his team at the University of Bradford used software to analyze the facial features of Kate's son. They combined it with heredity data to create composite images, which they say offer a glimpse of the future. The generated images predict how Prince George looks into the future of 2073 when he will be 60 years old, Marie Claire has learned.
"So what we've done in the case of George, we've taken his picture and then we've actually taken facial features and then aged him," Ugail said. "We take roughly 32 to 40 facial features we take from the face and we use these facial features - we map it into the machine and then we produce the age."
Ugail claimed that the results are 80 percent accurate. The results will get interesting by the time Prince George exits his teens. In his 20s, Prince George will show a striking resemblance to that of the Aussie swimming legend Ian Thorpe. When he reaches 40, the cute prince will bear the looks of the popular heartthrob actor Matt Damon.
Wow, that's quite impressive. However, the best is yet to come because as Prince George grows older he will also look better. The results suggested that by the time Kate and Prince Harry's son reach 60 he will bear an uncanny resemblance to the ruggedly handsome "Taken" actor Liam Neeson. Check it out here.
Ugail and his team also predicted that five-month-old Princess Charlotte will look similar to Cate Blanchett by the time she's in her middle age. On the other hand, Kate Middleton will bear the looks of Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop when she's 47.
Ugail admitted that he's been approached to turn his software into an app, but he is more interesting in using it for tracing missing children. "We can actually look at a child's pictures, we can incorporate all the pictures available, we can also add information from parents, parental facial features, grandparental facial features if available and also other relatives in the family," he said. "So we can take all that information so the accuracy that we can predict would be much, much better compared to the current existing technology."
