Gene Projector (Fallout 3)

The Gene Projector is a device which is capable of predicting a newborn baby's future appearance as a young adult by extrapolating physical characteristics from his or her genome. In Fallout 3, this device was used by James to show the Lone Wanderer how he or she would look at the age of 19.

The gameplay function of the device is to let the player determine the Lone Wanderer's appearance.

It is unknown which Pre-War company developed and manufactured the Gene Projector, as there is no company logo on the device itself.

Facial reconstruction
Other than at "birth", there are only two other opportunities to use the Gene Projector to change your character's face: just before you exit Vault 101 after your escape and if you visit Pinkerton in the Broken Bow of Rivet City and ask for cosmetic surgery. Note, however, that when getting reconstruction from Pinkerton, you cannot change your race.

Haircut
Even though only Pinkerton allows you to change the character's face after the tutorial, there are multiple characters which allow you to change your hair style:
 * If you own a house in Megaton, your personal robot butler Wadsworth will be able to give you a new trim or shave your beard. If you choose the Tenpenny Tower Suite then Godfrey will perform the same service.
 * You can receive a haircut from Butch when you encounter him during Trouble on the Homefront or if you have him as a follower.
 * A haircut is also available from Snowflake in Underworld.
 * It is also available from Joseph in Little Lamplight
