(MENAFN- Nam News Network) REALISTIC MASKS MADE IN JAPAN

REALISTIC MASKS MADE IN JAPAN. REAL-f Co. President Osamu Kitagawa shows off a super-realistic face mask at his factory in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, on Thursday. Super-realistic face masks made by a tiny company in rural Japan are in demand from the domestic tech and entertainment industries and from countries as far away as Saudi Arabia. The 300,000 ($2,650) masks, made of resin and plastic by five employees at REAL-f Co., attempt to accurately duplicate an individuals face down to fine wrinkles and skin texture. The company receives about 100 orders every year from entertainment, automobile, technology and security companies, mainly in Japan. For example, a Japanese car company ordered a mask of a sleeping face to improve its facial recognition technology to detect if a driver had dozed off, Kitagawa said. Photo courtesy of Agencies
