DOLL, MANEKIN, HUMAN ROBOT AND PET ANIMAL DOLL JUST LIKE ACTUAL THING AND METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING THE SAME

Japanese Patent JPS6323687

A

Flexible sheet fabric material for use in the fabrication of items bearing lifelike head and/or body representations of real life subjects. The sheet material has a print surface on at least one of its sides and a computer-generated imprint thereon of a two-dimensional photographic representation, an azimuthal-type sector projection, or a computer warped or panoramic representation of a human or animal head and/or body, the sheet material being capable of application to a substrate structure or stuffing substance to form a lifelike reproduction of a real life subject. In accordance with the methodology disclosed, two-dimensional or three-dimensional visual image information relating to a real life subject (5) is digitized with the digitized image information thereafter fed to a computer (18) for manipulation and editing by software, data bank anatomic information and keyboard direction for CRT display (22) and for utilization by a computer-directed printer (24). The flexible sheet material (26) is fed to the printer (24) and receives an imprint of the visual image information in the form of a two-dimensional photographic representation of the real life subject, an azimuthal-type sector projection of the subject, or a computer warped or panoramic representation of the subject. The sheet material bearing the visual information is thereafter conformed and applied to an appropriate substrate structure or stuffing substance to form the lifelike representation of the real life subject.
