Lip service

To create the sample face, Robin laser scans the faces of volunteers. The scans are harmless and take just a few minutes. But with them, Robin builds up an average face for Tutankhamun - showing an average nose, lips and eyes.

'We scan the faces of a number of people the same age, sex and an appropriate ethnic group, so that we've got a suitable average face to start the warping process from.'
Robin Richards
