3D purikura in Harajuku

3D printing photo booth set for scan

Ever wanted a life-like miniature of yourself or loved ones? Now's your chance, thanks to Omote 3D, which will soon be opening a 3D printing photo booth in Harajuku, Japan. There, visitors will have their bodies scanned into a computer, a process which takes about 15 minutes. Then the company prints your statuette on their 3D color printer in one of three sizes. Of course, this "photo" booth isn't cheap – 3D printing is still a fairly expensive novelty, especially for prints of this quality. And you can forget about trying to scan fidgety children or pets, as the data would get all skewed from their movements.

...

Omote 3D will continue to offer the service everyday from November 24th to January 13th, 2013 at the EYE OF GYRE exhibition space. Given the time it takes to do the scanning, you may want to make reservations at the company's website in advance.

Although it has been described as a "world first", as pointed out by a Abel in the comments, this type of service has been around for a couple of years already in Spain by a company called ThreeDeeYou.

So now the Otaku can have figures of themselves made up to bang all their creepy hentai figures? World first indeed...

I've already got these miniature versions of myself...one kinda looks like the Devil and sits on my right shoulder, the other one looks like an angel and sits on my left shoulder. Every time I try to do something, the poncy angel-like figure on my left shoulder starts warning me not to, stopping only when the little devil on my right shoulder flies over and sodomizes it....


....so, I probably don't need to be haunted any more than I am by getting one of these things (they cost a fucking fortune anyway). (Might get one for my mum to stick on her lawn with the other non-PC garden decorations she's had since the 1950s.)
