Digital imaging specialists at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington created a 3D bust and life mask of U.S. President Barack Obama. The process involved the use of a high-speed system consisting of 14 cameras, 50 LED lights, and handheld 3D scanners to capture every nuance of his skin, which allowed the team to capture detailed shape and facial properties in just six seconds.
Obama becomes the first living President to be printed in 3D. The stunning life-like portraits were completed using cutting-edge laser-printing technology.
Take a look at the process, and the 3D rendering created from this technology in the video below.
