OMOTE 3D SHASHIN KAN





In Japanese Shashinkan means ‘photobooth’.   There is this Japanese creative agency PARTY that has created the ultimate in Shashinkans with the Omote 3D. The project will allow customers to buy models of themselves (at parties, presumably) in three sizes: small (10cm high), medium (15cm) and large (20cm). They don't come cheap. The starting price is US$250 (RM804) each.  Yeah...

How to go about getting these 3D miniatures from the Sahshinkan?  There are 3 steps:
First, they ask each customer to come to the store and have themselves scanned with a 3D scanner. They have to stay still for a maximum of 15 minutes during this process.

Second, a 3D model is created based on the scanned data. The details, such as hair color and clothing, are carefully modified.

Finally, from the finished 3D model a miniature figurine is printed using a 3D color printer.
