The [smartphone attachment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappy-mobile) can quickly create impressively accurate and high quality 3D selfies of its users' faces. Though Bellus3D Face Camera works with normal smartphones, it's a very distinct piece of equipment. The camera is currently in its prototype phase, and so its hardware is uncovered and utilitarian in appearance. Even if the camera were housed in an aesthetic casing, the device still stands out because of its ring light that provides optimal lighting for the face scan. Bellus3D Face Camera uses two proprietary technologies to scan faces: DepthShape and PhotoShape, which assess contour and texture, respectively. Together, these systems record 500,000 points on users faces to create the 3D selfies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Augmented Reality Selfies:** Developing augmented reality camera app to create 3D selfies with real-time effects and filters. - **Highly Accurate 3D Printing:** Investing on developing a 3D printing technology that can incorporate intricate facial features to create high accuracy 3D printed figures. - **Facial Recognition Payments:** Exploring the potential integration of facial recognition technology to enable secure online payments and prevent fraud in the e-commerce industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smartphone Accessories:** Developing unique smartphone accessories to leverage the latest technological advances in computer vision, depth sensing and machine learning. - **3D Printing:** Manufacture and distribute 3D printers for consumers and professionals to help them create high quality, finely detailed and unique objects. - **E-commerce:** Enhancing online security and user experience by using advanced facial recognition technology as a means of two-factor authentication for online payments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pocket-Sized 3D Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoocam-ego.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [3D Body Scanning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-body-scanning.md) - [Quad-Lens GIF Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-3d-camera.md) - [AI Avatar Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-ai.md) - [AI-Driven 3D Body Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-body-scanner1.md) - [Body Composition Analysis Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prism-labs-naked-lens.md) - [Display-Equipped 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revopoint-miraco.md) - [Model-Producing Scanner Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiri-engine.md)
