It's a year into the pandemic now, and so those who sit around thinking of ways to make money off everything have had plenty of chances to do their thing...like the ones who saw big money in toilet paper, paper towels, and sanitary wipes. They're cleaning up! So to speak.
Now comes this - for someone who needs to wear a mask, which is all of us but lighthouse keepers, hermits, and solo ocean voyagers, and is also interested in...looking like someone else.
A Japanese firm has come up with a hyper-realistic mask that will give you the features of a stranger - in three dimensions!
As someone who has had strangers recoil in horror at the very sight of my wizened old mug, I'm all ears, as it were.
Shuhei Okawara is making $950 masks that give you the printed appearance of someone else. Specifically, you will have the look of an unidentified Japanese adult.
"Mask shops in Venice probably do not buy or sell faces. But that is something that's likely to happen in fantasy stories. I thought it would be fun to actually do that," Okawara told Reuters.
These fool-'em masks are now on sale as his Tokyo shop, Kamenya Omote, where he carries a complete line of theatrical and party supplies. This latest offering is being made on a 3-D printer, and he promises to broaden his sales by having overseas strangers pose, too.
Please put me down for a Harry Styles and a Keanu Reeves. I mean, why not?
