HourFace is a 99 cent iPhone app that starts with a portrait photo and then performs some magic. First the photo is uploaded. In just moments, a 3D animated version of the face is downloaded.

It took several prototypes to come up with the current design, which uses hidden quartz elements to evenly distribute heat across the surface of the bread.
