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.
plucky：有勇气的，大胆的
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'.
stills:【摄影术】静止摄影；定格画面
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 describes its process as a 'human photocopier'.
photocopier: 影印机；复印机
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 blood vessels and irises in the models.
irises:【解剖学】(眼球的)虹膜
'We have progressed from monochrome to colour, now is the era of the 3D stereoscopic effect,' it says.
monochrome: 单色的，黑白的
stereoscopic：立体的；体视镜的；有立体感的
The one thing Real-f fails to address is what the point of it all might be - except to suggest that you could put the 'head' model (about twice the price of a mask) on top of a mannequin.
mannequin：人体模型，服装模特儿
Whatever you use them for, expect to wait two weeks for delivery.
