Would you make a good eyewitness? OU PhotoFit Me app is launched

Could you recreate a face from memory? It's hard, says Graham Pike, the Open University's Professor of Forensic Psychology,  who works with the police to develop more intuitive ways of helping witnesses to produce accurate images of criminal suspects.

He says: "The problem for eyewitnesses is not only to  have a mental picture of the face of the perpetrator, but to translate this into a verbal description. Both of these actions are very hard to do."

The OU has developed an app which mimics the latest PhotoFit systems in use by police. Have a go and see if you can recreate the face of a friend, family member or celebrity.
