Did you ever take those photo-booth images in a mall or theme park, the ones that came out in a multi-panel strip? Well, welcome to the future of that. A new exhibit in Japan will be offering “portraits” made with a 3-D printer.
{!! $img_subtitle !!}
The 3-D portraits will be taken at exhibition space EYE OF GYRE in Harajuku, Japan. It runs from November 24 to January 14.

To sign up for a portrait, reservations have to be made in advance.

The project is being done by tech-savvy design team PARTY.

At the exhibit, people will be shot with a 3-D scanner. That data will then be sent to a 3-D printer to make the portraits.

The technology still isn’t perfect, of course, so the designers have provided guidelines–mostly about what materials can be worn–to make sure the portraits turn out correctly. (Portraits of things known to move around a lot, like pets or children under six, aren’t recommended, either.)
