Abstract: We present IDIgles, 3D-printed customized goggles based on scanned faces, to address the problem of sustained wearing of mass-produced, ill-fitting goggles, which can cause discomfort and soreness due to pressure on the user's face. To produce IDIgles, we obtain a digital model of user's face through 3D scanning, estimate a proper head pose using a neural network, and generate a 3D goggle model that fits the scanned face. The 3D model is then printed and post-processed to give the user a pair of customized goggles. Experiments showed that our method is able to generate closely-fitting customized goggles and improve sustained wearing experience.
