3D-Converting Snapshots

BumpyPhoto Brings 3D Life to 2D Photographs

— March 18, 2012 — Tech
BumpyPhoto launched a new patent-pending product line that turns 2D photographs into full-color 3D sculptures. If you’re one to never stand out in photos, this new photographic medium will literally make you pop.

BumpyPhoto is an innovative technology company that created this one-of-a-kind personalized photo art to allow its customers to capture moments in time and transform them into sculptures. Once you upload a 2D photograph to BumpyPhoto.com, a photo-realistic color depth map is reconstructed from the photo.

Photographs of your favorite places, paintings, people and animals can now come to life. Pictures can be as small as one inch to 15 inches or more upon request. You can also order photos in cut-out form options; the starting price for a 4 inch photo is $79. BumpyPhoto.com caters to its customers as photos can be delivered straight to your doorstep.
