3-D Printing Photo Booth Makes You Into an Action Figure

Print yourself in miniature. Photos: Omote 3D A Japanese pop-up photo booth will use 3D-printing technology to create action figure-sized replicas of its subjects. The Omote 3-D photo booth, which opens in the Eye of Gyre exhibition space in the Harujuku district of Tokyo on Nov. 24, features a 3-D scanner and 3-D printer setup that takes the likeness of its visitors and convert them into miniature figurines. Wired U.K. Posers must stand in position for around 15 minutes as the manually operated scanner records a full-body image. The raw data can then be modified and tweaked to achieve a better likeness and fine detail can be added before the 3-D color print is made. The service offers single, double or group portraits in a variety of sizes, the largest being up to 8 inches. If you’re a fan of the results — or looking to build a miniature army — you can also order reprints of yourself and others. However, sitters hoping for a three-dimensional rendition of their more outlandish poses and complicated ensembles should note that the limitations of the scanning and printing technologies mean there isn’t much room for experimentation with your figurine portraits yet. Shiny jewelry and accessories are ruled out, as are stiletto heels, hoop earrings, anything with a mesh, fluffy sweaters, chiffon, trekking boots, stripes, glasses and bags. Customers are also discouraged from pulling adventurous or particularly dynamic poses on account of needing to remain stationary for 15 minutes. Prices start at ¥21,000 (around $265) for a small single figurine.

it's like stego, but closer to what aqd asked me about (or brought up in conversation- it was awhile ago)

Secret Media uses a specialized technique of hiding information by embedding messages within seemingly harmless media files. It works by embedding invisible bits of data in otherwise normal graphics and audio files (such as JPG, MP3, WMA, GIF, BMP, or WAV). Using this technology, you can hide sensitive or private text messages in virtually any media file.

Features :
Unlike encryption, embedded Secret Media files are virtually undetectable. Files created with Secret Media look just like a regular graphics or audio file. But only you (and the people you tell) will know that there are secret messages embedded in the graphics or audio file.

Secret Media uses a Wizard-style interface to guide you from creating your own secret media file to viewing the hidden messages within a secret media file. An embedded password helps keep your private data even more secure.

If someone sent you a Secret Media embedded file, you can use the Secret Media Free Reader to view the hidden message in the file.
