Aviary Launches Dodo: Web-based Time Machine

Dodo.jpg

Aviary is a suite of web-based applications for people who create. From image editing to typography to music to 3D to video, there’s a tool for artists of all genres. It’s an image editor, similar to Photoshop, but different.

1091762-1459378-thumbnail.jpgThe latest addition to the already popular suite is Dodo, a web-based time machine. Still in Beta, it does some amazing things sure to impress creative professionals.

According to the Web site, the application will allow you to age and de-age people, places and things from any browser with Flash 9 enabled, and is incredibly simple to use: Just upload an input picture, choose between different settings that might affect the aging process (i.e. amounts of alcohol and tobacco consumed), set a year and hit “generate”.

Aviary sees a market opportunity across several mediums beyond graphic design, from tracking down long missing children, to determining if a girlfriend will end up looking like her mother.

To access Dodo, sign up for an Aviary account at http://a.viary.com. If you already have an account, log out and back in to see it appear in your tool list.

To see Dodo in action, watch the video demo below.

Aviary won’t disclose the technology that makes all this possible, but we believe it’s akin to magic considering the timing of the launch.

Not necessarily. There is an 11% error factor. You may still be a dog, just older.

I mis-typed. It's Felix. Not ashamed.

Easily trumps Google's announcement, at least this year's.

OK, I'll bite. Is this for real or an April Fool's joke?

Creative way to get people to sign up. Hats off to the marketing department!

Great use of creative juices to come up with this. Can't wait to try it. I assume there will be wireless connectivity between Earth and Mars, and with intellectual property being its only export, proficiency in this and similar software applications will prove helpful as we develop the new colony.
