New Tech Uraniom Allows to Scan Your Head into PC Games

Basically, a 3D scan is an empty shell, with a set of points defining a volume, which is covered by a picture. Thanks to proprietary algorithms, we add to this 3D object complementary data that makes it compatible with the graphics and animations engine of a game. Adding content to improve the game experience should not be restricted to the most dedicated fans. This is why we created a system that allows for extremely simple avatar integration, into existing games we already love.

Basically it allows your face to be on game characters

I find this hilarious, and will be easily abused in games, I can imagine playing csgo and a random ainsley harriotts face appearing

The beta version of Uraniom only works with PC games, but according to the official FAQ the first compatible console games will be available later this year. Currently, it supports FIFA 15, ARMA III, Grand Theft Auto V, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Counterstrike: Global Offensive. CS: GO is the only multiplayer game in the list, as you might have noticed, but the good news is that according to the company the avatar will be recovered by the server upon initiation of the game and will thus be visible by everyone in the match.

This is really cool, but how can you actually obtain a scan?

 

Only some ~£900 laptops seem to have Intel Realsense webcams, or you can get the £300 iSense iPhone attachment (if I used an iphone...).

For one scan of my face to put in a few games that seems excessive hahaha

 

This takes self-insertion to a whole new level...
