Forget selfies: Use a Kinect camera to make a 3D figurine of … you

Thanks to the mobile revolution, we probably all have hundreds of blurry, self-taken, and horribly off-center pictures of ourselves. Looking for something a bit impressive? How about a little statue of yourself?

Shapify can do just that, and all it needs from you is a Kinect, the motion-sensing camera for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 video game consoles and PC. As long as you have the equipment to plug your Kinect into your computer, you can then use it to take a bunch of pictures of yourself from different angles that’ll essentially scan your body. Using that data, Shapify will 3D print your $80 selfie figurine.
