A lot of us dream about possibly time-travelling in the future and learning about what really happens to us – and if it’s a bad thing, hey, we can always go back and change things, right Well, while time travel technology isn’t likely to ever be developed, Orange has presented the next best thing, just in time for the company’s 20th anniversary.
The new digital campaign launched by the company, and created by Publicis Conseil and Jam3, is called Future Self, and it’s exactly as it sounds like. The site asks users to log in and have their picture taken and scanned, and then, after a small period of time, you’ll see a digitally recreated picture of yourself at a later age.
Using the microphone on your computer (or a plug-in one – it works either way), you can ask questions to your future self, ranging from personal topics to general questions, such as, “Did the Cubs ever win the pennant ” While some of the app’s replies may not be 100 percent accurate, it’s still a fascinating project that’s worth a try.
You can see the website in action in the trailer below.
