Description

Another one from the "shut up about your fucking jetpack already" files: using consumer-grade tech and little hacking, we can now scan people in full 3D, and print out action figures based on them. Stop and think about that - all those sci-fi body scanners where the hero walks through some kind of light grid, and then we see the little £D spinning image of them on some computer screen? Yeah, that. Now think about that for just for tailoring alone, for god's sake.
