Always wanted a self-portrait? Always wanted to do it yourself? This self-portrait machine combines both of those desires without you doing much work at all.
The innovative device requires some time and patience in order to produce a very accurate self-portrait. The machine takes a photo of your face, and then after strapping in your arms and hands (make sure to be holding writing utensils) the device actually mechanically draws the picture for you.
This activity could possibly get rather boring, but it would be like leaning over the shoulder of a skilled artist to watch the progress of a masterpiece.
