The latest viral craze, a feature in Google’s Arts & Culture free app, matches your selfie to works from museums and galleries around the world. We asked CNET staff to try it out. Warning to the vain: Most matches aren’t that flattering, but they sure are funny. Match percentages for Google’s app vary wildly depending on the angle of your face, hair styling and whether you look directly at the camera.
Rebecca Fleenor scored the highest match of all CNET staffers, and really, we weren’t surprised. “OK, OK, so I know a thing or two about museum doppelgangers. (Unfortunately my spirit painting, the girl from Bouguereau’s “The Broken Pitcher,” doesn’t seem to be in Google’s database.)”
