Gene projector

The gene projector is the user interface in Fallout 3 utilized for character creation.
==Characteristics==
It can be used to choose options relating to the player character's appearance, including facial features, hairstyle and hair color. An opportunity to use the gene projector is available at birth and just before exiting Vault 101. After that, the only facility to alter one's facial appearance is with the lasergrafter in the possession of Pinkerton in the Rivet City bow.

* A haircut is also available from Snowflake in Underworld.

==Notes==
* A gene projector can be seen in the medical area of Jefferson Memorial in Fallout 3, located in the sub-basement.
* In Fallout: New Vegas, a non-interactable gene projector can be seen in the upstairs area of the REPCONN test site, upside-down. The far right button on this unit is labeled "Body" instead of "Hair." Two others are located in the medical area of the Hidden Valley bunker and in the Hoover Dam power plant 01.
* If Butch or Wadsworth is styling the Lone Wanderer's hair while a Stealth Boy is in effect, the player character will still be invisible on the gene projector screen.
