What our customers say:
The APRIL face aging software reveals profound information about a person in an instant - I call it "Memory of the Future." The startling yet delightful effect teaches you more about the meaning of time for a human being than any amount of more technical information.”

“Aprilage always creates a buzz when we take it to schools and community events. Young people care about their appearance and they remember this personal demonstration of how smoking will affect them.”

APRIL® Software
The original version of the APRIL® software was developed for use in science exhibits in collaboration with the Ontario Science Centre and assistance from the National Research Council of Canada. Since 1999, the software has been displayed at many Science Museums across North America.
APRIL® Age Progression Software v.2.6.2 Optimized Windows 7 version is NOW available
Aprilage Inc. announces the immediate release the newest version (Version 2.6.2) of its unique age progression software. Version 2.6.2 of APRIL® features Hispanic/Latino data and a new “grey hair” option providing enhanced image quality to the aging process.
APRIL® Age Progression Software is a unique computer program that creates a stream of images of a person's face as it changes with age, also known as a Smoking Simulation Software. Health and lifestyle effects such as smoking, sun exposure and obesity can also be applied. For example you can illustrate the differences of someone who smokes vs. a non-smoker and allows you the ability to compare and save the results, displaying a progression of aging.
The software is currently being used in countries all over the world by Museums & Science Centers, Hospitals, Schools as well as Health Departments and Organizations as a health education tool.
As well as being an educational tool the software can help:
- Assist in finding lost and missing children
- Identify criminals

The Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY was instrumental in helping develop the first version of APRIL®. They are currently using the program as part of its "Task Force for Smoke Free Women and Girls" to inform teenage girls about one of the physical effects of smoking.
