This is how the world sees you in 2033

From time to time, we are not too shy to carry out somewhat unusual projects. On October 4th last, the collaborating special investigative services (FIOD, SOID, AID, VROM Inspection) organized a large strategy meeting entitled 'Investigating is anticipating'. Future scenarios for investigative services in 2033 were discussed during the meeting. As a fitting memento, the organization thought it might be nice to give all attendees a photo as a keepsake. In 2033.

They asked Dialogic if we knew of any software that could do this. We quickly identified a web service in Canada that could do this for a modest fee. Subsequently, the conference organization commissioned us to make it happen in reality. This proved to be quite challenging (servers in Canada not working, blurry photos being taken, and an internet connection between the conference venue and Dialogic constantly dropping out). Nevertheless, we managed to edit the majority of the photos. For illustration, the edited photo of the researcher who carried out this project is included here.
