Omote 3D Shashin Kan touts its pop-up store, which recently occupied a Gyre mall in Shibuya, Tokyo, as the first 3D family portrait scanner and 3D printer project. We liken the concept as much to a photobooth that spits out an action figure of yourself as the family photo portrait gallery. Either way, we could see 3D portrait figurine creation really taking off.

Omote 3D's three-step process requires the subject or family to pose for 15 minutes for 3D scanning, the creation of a model in software based on the scanned data, and finally the 3D printing of the miniature figurine in color.  

Olan Mills, are you listening?
