CRUISE ship photos are so five
minutes ago.
German cruise line AIDA has
launched a new system onboard
which allows passengers to take
themselves home – in miniature
3D format.
They’re not actually calling
them personal action figures,
but the “3D portraits” are
certainly an accurate rendition
of the subject, with the
Twinkind scanning booth using
200 sensors to capture a “full
dataset” of the passenger.
The 3D printing actually takes
place offsite in Berlin, with
options ranging from 1:24 scale
right through to 1:5.
Prices start at €99 for the
smallest figurine – right up to a
whopping €596 for a 1:5 scale
model of yourself which is
posted to your home to await
your return.
The Aidabella, which is the only
vessel to feature the option at
this stage, will be cruising out
of Bangkok for the upcoming
summer season.
