Ian Butterfield modeled a human head for use with psychology vision lab tests. The head looked as realistic as possible within the time constraints set by the project. Since the tests were centered around dentistry, the head had to have a complete set of teeth, gums, and tongue. The whole head, neck, shoulders were constructed since angles of rendered images were undecided. The final outcome was a group of rendered images.

The model head was used for studying human perception. The tests were for dentistry and the perception of tooth color.

Completed in 2002.
