A selfie is a kind of self-portrait that is taken usually by hand-held digital devices or by using a camera smartphone. Well, the word Selfie had taken quite the world for spin and selfies evolved like anything. Everyone, every single individual is part of the selfie trend right now.

Everyone is obsessed with the word selfie since the day it got introduced and till now, the buzz is not dead. But with the evolution of technology, there have been advancements in the field of selfies which is how now we are introduced to this new 3D selfie concept.

There are several applications available on the play store that allows the users to take 3D selfies. The only thing that the person has to do is move the camera from one side to the other so that it can create a 3D rendering the face of the person. And now there are many companies that are coming up with creating 3D models that can exactly make you see the wrinkles on your face.

There are a lot of purposes rather than just creating a 3D model of yourself like many of the applications include making a 3D model of your pet so that you can have them as if they are immortal. Furthermore, you can also print 3D figures of you and the people that you love, the possibilities are quite endless.





Now if you want to create a whole statue of yourself, you can do that and not just hang a photo of yourself. You no longer have to hang favorite photos of yourself on the wall. There are many companies working on creating applications that can do the work for you like by connecting the mobile to the 3D scanning technology which can do the 3D printing, you can get your photo scanned into the 3D model and transform the digital photo into an immersive and more alive experience.

There are many people out there who are looking for sharing the memories like supposedly for a birthday or a wedding cake or say if you're having a baby and you can now do that by making 3D models and not just by photographs that are tangible. The principle behind the 3D selfies is that the technology will be democratized. There will be an evolution of the same through applications as it will reduce the need for systems that would require special skills to construct and more importantly require a lot of money to create.

By a unique approach to 3D scanning, the application will be creating a point cloud of the object by deploying a number of algorithms that are used in robots. This will put the 3D selfie applications above the technology. The applications that are already existing, make use by just creating an illusion of 3D and using the models they create the photo based on the scanned image which actually limits their ability to be able to capture minute details of the facial variations.

There are many solutions out there in the market but one cannot rely on morphing the underlying of the head models which ends up giving results in an unrecognizable generic face of the individuals. The application will be directly generating the high-quality scans of the individual so that they can create a polished 3D selfie that will be capturing all the exquisite details of the face and its expression. The application will allow the user to view the image of the smartphone in real-time which will provide an intuitive experience just like creating a video.

There are certain steps that are followed to create a 3D selfie:

First, you have to position the camera horizontally in front of you on an eye-level



Then to activate the selfie mode in your settings



Click on the button which says to scan the face



Turn the camera 360 degrees in either direction and the reconstruction will stop automatically



Wait for the processing to be completed and then save the model



Your model is now ready for 3D printing







We all like to have memories that are a compulsion to preserve and share what we see and 3D technology has added to the advantage of making that dream come true by adding a magical experience for us. There are many 3D applications which are tailored especially for this use. You can take photographs of your food or clothes as well.

3D Selfie concept is evolving which is why companies are going forward with coming up with applications that can create the perfect selfie model for you.
