If you think about it for a moment, glasses do modify the visage quite a lot. Just look at Adam Savage. With glasses on he looks like a studious and perceptive mythbuster. Without glasses he looks like some kind of mackerel crossed with an ape. Glasses are immediately added to the mental model when a first impression is made.

In a way, it may satisfy the average human being's urge to replicate oneself and therefore have a living image of oneself to admire and worship like an actual fetish object of one's psyche.. The human ego is indeed a voracious beast. My personal dream would be to have infinite 3-D models of IN and Out burgers made, so I would never go hungrywhile driving home from work. Nice article, Cory! This 3-D stuff is very interesting and neat.
