ShapeScale is a 3D personal body scanner, scale and fitness tracker that digitizes your body in photorealistic 3D. Its companion app then shows you where exactly you have been gaining muscle and losing fat by color-grading your 3D avatar.

What happens if your posture/pose changes between shots? Is that compensated for?
And how does it know what is fat and what is muscle?
@tombielecki That's really where a lot of our software tech comes into play. For tracking related scans, we use computer vision and data science to correct for posture, breathing and to some extend bloating so that every scan is realigned and cross-comparable.
Fat and lean mass is differentiated through body density and volumetric measures as found in hydrostatic weighing. Now, ShapeScale can also segment your different body parts for volume which you cannot do with underwater weighing since your entire body replaces the water.
Just wanted to add that ShapeScale cannot measure your absolute muscle mass (lean mass is bodyweight less body fat so it includes also bone, tissue, organ mass, etc). However, the weight of your organs isn’t going to change much, and although your bone density can change over time, it isn’t going to affect the weight of your Lean Body Mass too significantly. What can significantly influence your Lean Body Mass is the second type of mass in question: muscle mass. That's why we focus on relative change in lean mass in our graphs because that's what really important.
Hope that makes sense.

This is exciting! I am pleasantly surprised by the cost as well. I used to think gyms having 3D scans like this with detailed reports would be very exciting. It's so cool to have such a device for anybody with this cost.

Looks nice, although the subscription cost feels high to me (although obviously that's a matter of opinion). The lifetime option definitely helps, though.

This looks very innovative. So cool!

Fit3d (https://www.fit3d.com/) have existed for many years and have already shipped 100+ products globally. I don't think they are the first one to do it.

That's pretty awesome, how accurate is it?

I really hope your team is talking to video game developers and hardware companies like Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.
