A Selfie for Your Shelf The New York Times

Last year Kim Phan, a clothing designer in Manhattan, decided she wanted a miniature version of herself. She wore a print dress from her label, Yumi Kim, and proceeded to a branch of Doob, where she stepped into a walled room — the “Dooblicator” — fitted with 54 cameras. The cameras captured her from every angle, and then Ms. Phan stepped out and reviewed the image on a monitor.

“I wanted it to be a motion shot,” she said. “I told them, ‘I want you to capture my dress flying.’”
