Apparatus is provided to capture three-dimensional images of a subject's head. The apparatus comprises a plurality of stereographic digital cameras that are operable simultaneously and are disposed in a predetermined vertical planar relationship to each other. The plurality of stereographic digital cameras are positioned to capture a group of stereographic digital image pairs of a corresponding vertical hemispherical surface portion of the head of the subject when the subject is positioned in a predetermined location in front of the plurality of stereographic digital cameras. The apparatus further comprises a processing apparatus coupled to the plurality of stereographic digital cameras. The processing apparatus operates on the group of stereographic digital image pairs to generate a three-dimensional digital image file of at least a full vertical hemispheric portion of the head of the subject.
