Moda, the world’s first digital makeup artist

Never got the hang of applying makeup with your own hands? Not to worry. Moda from Foreo is set to become the world’s first digital makeup artist. Using facial scanning technology and a 3D printer it can adapt and apply the latest makeup trends directly to the user’s face in just about 30 seconds.

To begin, users need to download an integrated smartphone app and select the style they want to emulate. This could be from Moda’s image library, a photo of a celebrity from the internet or a picture of a fashionable friend. Once the selection has been made, it customizes the colors and shapes to suit the wearer’s skin tone and face shape. Then when the face is placed into the device, Moda paints it using FDA-approved makeup ink.

World’s first 3D printing photo booth

Ever wanted a life-like miniature action figure of yourself? Omote 3D has made that possible by setting up the world’s first 3D printing photo booth for a limited time at the Eye of Gyre exhibition space in Harajuku, Japan.

From November 24th to January 13th, 2013 people with reservations will be able to have their bodies scanned into a computer. Then instead of a photograph they will receive miniature replicas of themselves. 😎

The miniature replicas are available in 3 sizes i.e. S (10cm), M (15cm) and L (20cm) for US$264, US$403 and US$528, respectively.

Be Your Own Souvenir!

The crew from blablablab.org created a unique digital installation in La Rambla, Barcelona, a place made famous by street artists posing as “human sculptures” along with the tens of thousands of tourists who come to see these street performers stand still.

This installation reverse the roles and lets the tourist become the producer as well as the consumer through a system that invites him/her to perform as a human statue, with a free personal souvenir as a reward: a small figure of him/herself printed three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction that uses three structured light scanners (kinect).
