You’ve probably scrolled past a post on social media where someone transformed their face into a boxed action figure—and thought, “How did they do that?” The answer: AI. Specifically, ChatGPT 4.0 with vision capabilities.

The idea of turning yourself into an action figure may sound like a complex, high-budget task, but it’s surprisingly simple with the right tools and prompts. With a bit of creativity, a solid photo, and some specific directions, you can create everything from a YouTube influencer figure to a superhero cover straight out of a vintage comic book.

The process begins with a clean, front-facing photo—ideally in front of a plain background. If you can fix it in a photo editor, it will help with the overall look if GPT doesn’t have to analyze too much.

Give your photo a name you can use (like jeff.png), then upload it into ChatGPT. If you have other photos or even logos, you can tell the prompt which photo to reference.

Keep in mind, it’s not going to be 100% accurate. This AI will see the image as “a person with”. In my case, it’s “An older man with glasses and a long beard”.

Since GPT sees an image and creates a description, so the magic happens in how you create your prompt. One well-written paragraph can define your face, outfit, accessories, pose, packaging, and even the background environment. Take that prompt to the limit – which I don’t believe there is one.

The more detail, the better.

I put this together with the help of Owen Hemsath’s prompt. The one thing missing was the logo – which I wanted to test if you could separate images. This is the prompt I used:

Once the standard figure is complete, you can use the prompt to make adjustments, or start making other things. What if you were a Cabbage Patch Kid? What if you were a superhero action figure?

I started making comic book covers, my likeness on a candy bar, and even a cereal box. With the right prompt, you could make a graphic, diorama, and more.

And you can take your prompts beyond the person. Put action figures in scenes, holding items, and more. Even a simply photo and prompt of “Recreate this image turning the person into an action figure” makes for a fun photo.

While MidJourney could do this, it might take a lot more information and more prompts. But by uploading a photo and prompting in MidJourney will only make you a generic action figure.

While MidJourney isn’t creating the results I am looking for in this case, I still use MidJourney for many other things. The images in the video (including that Matrix image) was mostly created using MJ.

This tool is getting more sophisticated as we expected. Being able to focus on what you say in your prompts can get you not only action figures, but also scripts you can use to make your life easier (I’ve done that several times now), programs like games and more.

But think of this – what if you could prompt a way to search for your likeness across the Internet? Or prompt a program that will keep you safe on the web?

The possibilities are endless.

The OBSBOT Tail 2 has arrived, and it’s making waves with an innovative twist on PTZR camera technology. But what is the “R” in PTZR, and why is this camera changing the game with it’s AI camera?

Traditional PTZ cameras allow for pan, tilt, and zoom functions, giving users a dynamic range of motion. But with a PTZR camera, you add a new level of movement within the lens – a horizon stabilization.

There have been a couple other cameras that have been able to rotate the lens digitally, but OBSBOT Tiny 2 is the first to actually put a rotating lens inside the enclosure. With this, you can go from landscape to vertical mode and back with the push of a button.

It also adds the ability to keep your shots level when your camera tripod is not on an even surface.

The OBSBOT Tail 2 also packs impressive camera specs. Sporting a 1/1.5” CMOS sensor with 50 million effective pixels, the camera captures 4K video with stunning clarity. The 12x hybrid zoom (5x optical) combines optical and digital capabilities, providing magnification from 20-30 feet away while maintaining sharpness.

In addition to high-quality video, the Tail 2 offers multiple connectivity options including HDMI, SDI, and NDI, making it suitable for both casual and professional use. The integrated AI chip performs trillions of calculations per second, delivering smooth tracking and object recognition. Whether you’re streaming live, recording a performance, or capturing nature footage, the OBSBOT Tail 2 adapts to your needs with ease.

Power can be achieved via USB power, or through Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows for one cable connected to the camera.

This OBSBOT camera also will stream to Facebook, YouTube, and more. The Tail 2 can send video out via NDI (with license), SRT, RTMP, or RTSP. Therefore, if you want to send out your video to a studio, simply set up the camera, use the app to configure, and broadcast.

The AI capabilities of the OBSBOT Tail 2 can differentiate between people and objects, offering specialized tracking modes. I even got it to track a guitar neck, rather than the person itself.

In the video, you can see how when I set the AI for one person, if someone passes in front, it will understand and wait for the the tagged person to show back up.

Gesture control allows for easy management without needing to touch the camera, a feature that’s especially handy during live performances or presentations. You can start or stop tracking with a simple hand gesture, zoom in or out, and switch between modes seamlessly.

The Tail 2 does have an internal battery that gives you about 3-5 hours of use, depending on how you use the camera.

Price and Availability

The Obsbot Tail 2 is available now and starts at $1,199. It is available on Amazon (affiliate link) or through OBSBOT.5% off with code “OBSBOT2025” (afilliate)

The OBSBOT Tail 2 is small, innovative, and can be controlled with or without a computer. You can record, stream, or send your video to a switcher. If you have 2-3 cameras, you could easily make a production studio anywhere.

It’s time to give your keyboard a new lease on life and make it sound like you’re actually playing a Grand Piano. Pianoverse is here to transform your outdated equipment into a sonic powerhouse. In this video, we are checking out the Grand Piano Y7 – Based on the Yamaha Grand Y7. I’ll go through the settings, the spaces, what keyboard I’m using, and the pros and cons of using this software.

I’ll start with saying I am a drummer over a keyboard player, but I’ve been really working on playing some covers for a project. I use the Keystation 88 for my keyboard – it relies on the computer to produce sounds.

And even though the Grand Pianos in Logic Pro are satisfactory in practice, having something sounding more like a real piano is important for recording.

IK Multimedia recorded all piano sounds in a studio in Italy. The goal was to have these pianos with a pristine sound to them so you could start with a sound that is perfect to begin with.

Pianoverse is not just a single keyboard – it’s a series of modeled grand pianos and upright pianos for the sound you’re looking for. The sound modeling is incredibly detailed, capturing nuances such as pedal noise, hammer strikes, and room resonance. With options to place your virtual piano in a cathedral, club, or even a desert, Pianoverse offers a versatile soundscape that adapts to your creative needs.

You might think revamping your keyboard’s sound would be complicated, but Pianoverse keeps things straightforward. Installation is pretty straightforward, and once set up, you have control over multiple aspects of the sound. Adjust reverb, tone, attack, and more with intuitive sliders and dials. Plus, Pianoverse integrates seamlessly with major DAWs like Logic Pro and GarageBand, or you can run it as a standalone application.

Of course, with the piano tuned to your liking, you can put it in different environments that will match what you are trying to envision. Put it in a concert hall for a more spacious sound, a Jazz club to give it a retro vibe, a studio for a flatter sound, and many more environments to choose from.

The spaces include some interesting environments. A Hall of mirrors, the Coliseum in Rome, in the middle of the forest, the desert, or on an Iceberg are some of the options. Places where a high-priced piano won’t really fair if it was moved there.

With these interesting spaces, you can get a lot of environmental sounds that would be present if you were actually in the desert or the forest. All these factors you can also adjust to get the right balance of music vs. cicadas (in the forest).

Pianoverse is designed with both flexibility and performance in mind. You don’t need the latest gear to sound great – just install Pianoverse, choose your piano model, and start playing. The software is compatible with both Windows and Mac, and you can even fine-tune the environmental sounds to match your performance space.

I installed this software on a Mac Mini M1. The piano files are rather large, so it could fill up your hard drive quick. I installed on a external drive, which made the pianos load slower.

I also installed on a Windows 11 machine with plenty of RAM and Hard drive space. This definitely made the experience better – especially when I was switching through pianos to find the right sound.

IK Multimedia offers in a few ways, including a yearly subscription model. This will ensure your pianos are up to date, and you have access to new models that come out.

Prices for the Y7 alone start at $99, but you can also get the Max bundle so you have access to all the pianos in the modeling software. You can check out Pianoverse on B&H (affiliate link) or IK Multimedia’s website,

When you pay extra for an immersive cinematic experience, you expect to be wowed. Regal Cinemas’ ScreenX technology promises a groundbreaking, panoramic movie experience that extends visuals beyond the main screen to the sidewalls of the theater.

However, as this moviegoer recently discovered, this technology doesn’t always deliver on its promises—and that’s not the worst part!

ScreenX was designed as an alternative to IMAX and 4Dx, boasting an extended field of vision to make viewers feel like they are inside the movie. Unlike traditional widescreens, ScreenX uses additional projectors to display footage on the theater’s side walls, theoretically creating an immersive, wraparound effect.

All this for a premium price—often $10 to $15 more per ticket.

The first major issue was the inconsistent use of the peripheral screens. The side projections weren’t active throughout the entire movie, leading to abrupt shifts in brightness and immersion. One moment, the side screens would be displaying content, enhancing the action. The next, they would abruptly turn off, leaving only the center screen illuminated.

But the real disaster? The side projections went out of sync. One side would delay, then the other side, followed by both screens shutting off for a minute, then turning back on in sync (only to repeat the process). The result was an utterly disorienting mess, making it impossible to stay engaged with the film.

and I don’t know if the side screens shut off by design, or if it was trying to correct itself. All I know is instead of enhancing the movie, ScreenX became a malfunctioning distraction.

Technical failures happen, but the real disappointment came after the movie ended. Despite paying a premium for a technology that didn’t work, no theater staff acknowledged the failure. There was no notice before the screening, no attempt to explain or apologize, and worst of all, no one available to address complaints after the movie ended.

Movie theaters have historically been more responsive to customer issues. Back in the era of film reels, if a projection broke mid-movie, theaters would often be at hand, giving you a free pass. Even modern streaming services like Amazon recognize technical hiccups, sometimes issuing automatic credits.

If this experience is any indication, the answer is a hard no. The peripheral extension was OK, but if I had a choice between IMAX, 3D, 4Dx, ScreenX, or just watching the movie without enhancements, I think the ScreenX experience will most likely be my last option.

Regal Cinemas had a chance to impress with innovative technology, but instead, they’ve delivered an overpriced, glitch-ridden experience—without even the courtesy of customer service to make things right.

Would you give ScreenX another chance? Or has Regal’s failure left you skeptical of premium theater gimmicks altogether?

Shokz has long been at the forefront of bone conduction technology, ever since I saw them at CES 2009. They offer an innovative audio solution of bone conduction, which keeps ears open while delivering clear sound. The OpenMeet UC continues this legacy, designed specifically for professionals who spend their days in meetings, calls, and virtual collaboration.

With other offerings like the OpenComm 2 UC and the OpenFit 2, OpenMeet UC adds another strong option to Shokz’s expanding lineup.

Shokz is known for its lightweight, wraparound headsets, but the OpenMeet UC breaks from tradition with an over the head-style design. I first saw the headset at CES 2025, and am excited to test the pair.

Unlike previous models that loop behind the head, this headset rests on top, making it more suitable for professional settings. The adjustable boom mic ensures clear voice transmission, and a mute button is affixed on the boom to mute your voice so you can curate the conversation.

For added versatility, it comes with the optional Loop 120 USB adapter, allowing for a stable wireless connection beyond standard Bluetooth. This feature is ideal for users who need low-latency, interference-free audio during critical calls.

Unlike traditional headphones that cover or plug into your ears, bone conduction transmits sound through vibrations to your inner ear. This means you can clearly hear conversations without blocking out your environment, making it easier to stay engaged with colleagues or respond to in-office situations without constantly removing your headset.

Additionally, because it doesn’t rely on ear cups or in-ear buds, the OpenMeet UC eliminates ear fatigue, making it comfortable for long hours of wear—something professionals will appreciate after a full day of meetings.

I unbox, try on, and test the OpenMeet UC. You will hear first-hand the sound quality, even with noise all around.

At $249, the Shokz OpenMeet UC is a premium solution for professionals who need clear audio, open-ear comfort, and seamless connectivity throughout their workday. Whether you’re working remotely, in a shared office, or frequently jumping between calls, its bone conduction technology, long battery life, and professional design make it an excellent investment.

If you’re already a fan of Shokz’s technology, or if you’re looking for a professional headset that delivers comfort and clarity without isolating you from your surroundings, OpenMeet UC is a standout choice.

BioLite just introduced a game-changer in home energy backup. If you thought battery packs were just for portable power stations sitting on your garage floor, think again—BioLite’s new system is designed to mount directly behind your refrigerator, keeping it running through outages or peak energy draw times.

BioLite’s modular system consists of sleek 3-kilowatt-hour lithium phosphate battery cells that can be daisy-chained together for expanded capacity. Each unit can provide 30 to 60 hours of backup power for a standard fridge, ensuring your food stays cold even if the grid goes down.

The Biolite battery mounts flush against the wall or behind appliances, it doesn’t take up valuable space in your home. And you can plug multiples for more power.

You can also affix to your bed frame, so your CPAP, your mattress or frame adjuster, your heating pad and more will run through the night without interruption. This could go almost anywhere you need emergency power in your home.

This BioLite system supports optional solar panel charging. While BioLite doesn’t manufacture the panels themselves, the ability to integrate them makes this an even more attractive option for long-term energy independence.

Plus, the $3,000 price tag per battery pack gets a boost from a 30% tax credit, bringing the cost down to $2,100.

Expected to launch in summer 2025, the BioLite energy system is positioned as a must-have for anyone looking to weatherproof their home. For more information, check out Biolite’s Website.

Wacom’s Movink is a sleek, powerful, and surprisingly lightweight drawing tablet. The Movink, a 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen display designed for artists, designers, and video editors who need precision, portability, and seamless compatibility.

But does it live up to Wacom’s reputation for high-end pen displays? Let’s dive in.

The Wacom Movink is designed to be thin, lightweight, and ultra-portable. Weighing in as the lightest Wacom tablet, it makes for an excellent companion for creators on the go.

The device features a 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen with dual USB-C ports for flexible connectivity. The USB-C cable connection gives a solid connection so the tablet can deliver being precise onto 10-bit color.

Movink includes two customizable buttons on the frame on either side so you can plug in on the left or right side.

You can change out the display to multiple color palettes, so you can edit in the best way possible. The tablet offers a host of controls on-screen to help in whatever you’re editing.

Wacom includes its Pro Pen 3, which comes with interchangeable nibs to suit different drawing styles. The pen operates without a battery, eliminating the need for power failures

The Movink works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Android. Upon connection, I watched how Wacom’s driver installs automatically.

I was then able to adjust pressure sensitivity, display settings, and button functionality from the OS.

The pressure sensitivity in Photoshop is on point, while hand gestures and palm rejection function as expected. Pen tracking is precise, making it ideal for sketching, shading, and detailed editing. Users can calibrate it for various color profiles, ensuring consistency in their projects.

Since the tablet is simply a touchscreen, you can use it in many programs. For example, I use vMix, and with it, I can switch cameras and bring in graphics using my finger, or the pen.

I also brought in some other video streaming software programs, including web based software. With a good setup, I can easily use this for quicker switching (because I don’t have to find the mouse).

With a base price of $749, the Wacom Movink is a solid investment for professionals seeking portability and top-tier display quality. It serves as an excellent second screen for precise color work, illustration, and video production. If portability and accuracy are top priorities, this is a worthy contender.
