Plucky Japanese start-up Real-f offers you the chance to 'see yourself' as never before.(dailymail.co.uk) |
Now this is a gap in the market no one had seen before. Plucky Japanese start-up Real-f offers you the chance to 'see yourself' as never before. For £2,500 (yes, really) - or $3,920 - the company takes digital stills of your face, then moulds them over a 3D model to create a hard vinyl chloride 'face'. The resulting model is called a 3DPF - 3 Dimensional Photo Form. If a face isn't quite enough, then you can opt for a full head and shoulders. The company describes its process as a 'human photocopier'. Oddly, it's not the first start-up to offer human face masks featuring your own face - but it's by far the most realistic. Real-f claims you can discern individual bloodvessels and irises in the models. 'We have progressed from monochrome to colour, now is the era of the 3D stereoscopic effect,' it says. The one thing Real-f fails to address is what the point of it all might be - except to suggest that you could put the 'head' model (about twice the price of a mask) on top of a mannequin. Whatever you use them for, expect to wait two weeks for delivery. (Read by Nelly Min. Nelly Min is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies)

日本新興企業(yè)Real-f公司日前研發(fā)出仿真人臉面具,大膽地填補(bǔ)了這一市場空白。擁有了自己的“第二張臉”,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)從未如此清晰地“看過自己”。 仿真面具價格不菲,單價高達(dá)2500英鎊(合3920美元)。公司首先拍攝顧客容貌,之后在3D模具上制作出堅固的氯乙烯“人臉”。 制成的面具稱為三維仿真面具(3DPF)。如果單單一張仿真人臉還不夠,你還可以選擇制作從頭到肩膀的全套面具。 公司將這一過程稱之為“人體印刷”。 該公司并非首家制作以客戶面貌為原型的仿真人臉面具的公司,但目前來看,這家公司所作出的面具最逼真。 Real-f公司稱,人們甚至可以在3D面具上看清每根血管和眼睛虹膜?!?/p> 公司稱:“我們已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了從單色到彩色的躍進(jìn),如今的時代人們追求的是立體效果?!?/p> 但Real-f公司沒有提到,制作仿真人臉面具意義何在,只是提出可以把全套的“人頭”面具安裝在人體模型身上。這種“人頭”面具的價格大約是普通面具的兩倍。 但不管你拿來做什么用,制作和配送都需要兩周時間。 相關(guān)閱讀 (中國日報網(wǎng)英語點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯:馮明惠) |
