What’s higher than a cool Tron motion determine? A cool Tron motion determine together with your face and voice, clearly.

The thought is that you simply get your face scanned, file six traces of dialogue, after which manually customise your character’s look with totally different helmets, our bodies, and crew colours, and also you’re left with a figurine that feels really “you.”

It’s a not dissimilar thought to Hasbro’s Selfie Collection, which 3D prints your head onto an motion determine of your selecting after you scan your face with an app. However whereas Hasbro goes down a 3D printing route with a lead time of a number of weeks, the Tron Identification Program merely reveals your face on a small LCD display screen contained in the figurine’s helmet, in keeping with Gizmodo.

So it’s a little bit of a compromise, however no less than you’re left with a fairly cool piece of memorabilia by the top of the day. Its field is even designed to seem like a small Tron arcade cupboard.
