Nothing says “I Love You” like a creepy 3D mask of your face - PHOTOS

12 October 2011 [12:30] - TODAY.AZ
Just in case you’ve always wanted a gift that would creep the heck out of your family and friends, but you never really found it, I’m here to tell you your wish has come true. A Japanese company is making incredibly detailed 3D replicas of human faces and selling them as gifts.

REAL-f is a unique company that specializes in 3 Dimensions Photo Forms, which in colloquial terms translates as 3D masks and busts of anyone willing to pay for them. That doesn’t sound weird or impressive at all, but the guys at REAL-f claim their proprietary technology allows them to replicate every detail of the human face, including skin pores, blood vessels and the iris. The Japanese startup first takes photos of the subject from multiple angles, generates a 3D image on the computer and imprints it on vinyl chloride resin stretched over a mold.

But the scariest thing about REAL-f’s creepy 3 Dimensions Photo Forms is the pricing. You can get a 3D mask of your face for $3,920 (with additional copies at just $780 each) and a full replica of your head will set you back $5,875 (with additional copies just $1,960). Kind of expensive if you ask me, but I bet a few crime lords out there would gladly pay up to avoid getting their hands dirty peeling someone’s face off just to bypass biometric scanners.
