Double trouble? Japanese company creates ultra-realistic (and slightly creepy) replicas of your face

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 takes still images of your face to 'build' a 3D model - then maps them over a vinyl chloride face model. The result is the realistic mask of your own face you've always dreamed of

Oddly, this is not the only company that will make you a mask of your own face - but Real-f's are by far the most realistic. The makers claim you can see blood vessels and details such as irises

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.
