Want to see yourself riding a bike or playing a guitar? Just click a selfie and insert the image into this app, which will transform it into a 3D avatar of yours.
The Xiao Ou Wo De3d Meng Ou is an iPhone app that lets you turn a selfie into a 3D model, which you can customise and place in new clothes, new poses and even on a fancy motorcycle, media reports said.
After you install the app on your phone the name changes to My Idol, but if you search the app store you would not find it by that name.
Although the app is in Chinese, it is easy enough to get around with the English translation guide with some trial and error.
At first glance the app might not look like much, but after you put your face onto a model that rides a motorcycle or dances to "Bringing Sexy Back" the humour is clear.
You can save the photos and videos to share on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
