Image Magic Inc. (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Makoto Yamakawa) announced that its 3D figure service '3DME' will collaborate with a kids' photo event organized by Smile Project to host the '3D Smile Photo Session' on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at the new facility 'MIRAI PARK' in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture.

At this event, in addition to professional photography, cutting-edge 3D scanning technology will be used to capture children in their kindergarten uniforms or carrying school backpacks in just 2 seconds. These free '3D Photos (3D data)' can be rotated and viewed 360 degrees on a smartphone.

Children grow up quickly, and every moment is a priceless treasure for families. To respond to parents' desires to "preserve precious moments of growth and their figures in favorite clothes exactly as they are," this collaboration between the popular local "Smile Photo Session" and "3DME" will take place at "MIRAI PARK (Isesaki Mirai Park)." Opened in May 2026, the facility promotes itself as Japan's first "child-rearing infrastructure."

Under the concept of "Preserving the 'now' of children for the future," the event aims to deliver a new form of memory-making by creating 3D data of children as "3D Photos."

Free "Photo x 3D Photo" Experience with Pro Photographers and 3D Scanning In the dedicated 3D scanning booth, approximately 100 cameras will scan the full body in just 2 seconds, eliminating any strain on young children. The resulting "3D Photo (3D data)" reproduces 360 degrees of the child, from their uniform and backpack to their adorable expressions.

As a participation benefit, attendees will receive a free "3D Photo & AR Experience Card." This card allows them to enjoy professional photo data, view their child's 3D figure from all angles on a smartphone, and even project the figure into real-world settings using Augmented Reality (AR).

Order a Palm-Sized "Custom Miniature Figure of Your Child" On the Spot Participants can view the generated "3D Photo" on their smartphones right after the shoot. If they like it, they can place a paid order for a palm-sized miniature figure.

Faithfully reproducing expressions and clothing textures using the latest 3D printing technology, these figures serve as special keepsakes that offer the unique tactile emotion of a 3D object, something traditional 2D photos cannot provide.
