Be Your Own Souvenir
So you’re at the museum, and deep down in the sub-basement right next to
the restrooms you happen to discover an enormous machine that looks
like it was pulled from the Aliens II movie set. And then you notice you
can insert a dollar, and suddenly the machine whirs to life and pipes
hot, neon green plasticine into a mold in front of your very eyes as you
inahale noxious fumes. Within moments you’re in the possession of a
bona-fide neon green submarine, a memento of your visit to the museum
that smells strange for days. Be Your Own Souvenir by Barcelona-based blablabLAB
is just like that, except a trillion times more awesome. Using custom
software developed using openFrameworks and openKinect, visitors film
themselves in front of 3 kinect sensors for a full 360-degree scan and
within moments a 3D printer known as a RepRap machine spits out a little
army guy version of themselves. Every museum in the world should have
one of these in their sub-basement, though they can probably install
this by the front door. (via vimeo)
