ENLIGHTEN3D

By Joshua Koopferstock

Who hasn’t always dreamed of having a $2000 sculpture of their own head?  I know I have.  And finally, thatsmyface.com will make this dream come true.  With the upload of 2 photos of your face, one in front view and one in profile, thatsmyface.com will reconstruct a 3D model of your head in a semi-automatic fashion. This is a pretty neat attempt to bring a computer vision & 3D technology to the consumer market.

The technology behind the site is nothing new.  I can’t say for sure, but I would be willing to bet that thatsmyface.com is using FaceGen technology, which has been around for 10 years.

Still, you don’t need cutting edge technology AND an exciting product to make a successful business; one of the two will usually do just fine.  Thatsmyface.com now just needs to convince people that what they’ve always wanted was random gear with their head as the main feature.  For the sake of entrepreneurship, good luck to them!
