Era Adjustment

added by Rawshock 9 years ago O

Era adjustment? You aren't sure what that means but it sounds like it could be interesting, so you press that option on the primitive touchscreen. The video of yourself disappears, and is replaced by a series of stills of the last frame of yourself before you pressed the Era Adjustment option (not a very flattering picture since it has you reaching out toward the camera while blinking). After a moment of examination you realize that each of the photos is slightly different, and has a label below it. 1990s, 1980s, 1970s... and in each of the photos you look like you're wearing different clothes from that decade.

You grinned, this was much cooler than you thought it would be. The booth's software was clearly much more powerful and sophisticated than the outside of the booth had suggested. You just had to get one of those pictures to show your friends. Hell, you'd get more than one, although you still had to pick one to start, so you might as well start with the coolest.
