Have you ever wondered what would happen once the human race would suddenly grow extinct? Well the thought has crossed our minds for sure and while we may not see what the world would be without human beings, there is a new iPhone application that can perhaps show us how the world would look if and when that time comes.

HISTORY today launched its first iPhone and iPod Touch application, the Life After People Photo Ager, which helps to answer that question. The free application is available for download at Apple’s iTunes store and allows users to “age” images by adding cracks, holes, mold, dirt, vines, plants and even stray animals and rusty bicycles to photos that can be saved for later and shared with friends.

The Life After People Photo Ager is simple to use. Photos can be imported from the user’s own photo library, or users can take their own new photos to “age.” Also part of the application is a “Location Explorer” that lets users page through a unique photo gallery of famous locations – all accompanied by historical descriptions – and then slide a finger along a scroll bar to visually progress its aging process in order to see what it would look like after people. Customizable postcards allow users to share an aged photo, along with a personalized message, with friends.
