  1. Re:Other uses by Reziac · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hmm... you could probably generate some fairly interesting pseudo-classical sculpture that way.

    Man, does that ever open a can of copyright worms... Methinks you'd have to be careful to start with a photograph you own the rights to, or that you've already licensed "derivative works" rights to.

  2. What kind of machine? by anagama · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I want to know what the machine is from which the chair seems to rise from a pool of white goo. That's amazing -- what is it called? How much do they cost?

  3. Head set display? by Benson884 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sorry if this has been said, but couldn't the designers head position also be tracked by the cameras so a view from their prospective could be fed back to a heads up display? This would allow for a real time overlay of what was being designed to be seen on top of the real space. Could be much more useful, almost like making a sculpture. This would be similar to a technique used in LOTR to shoot using a hand held camera in a virtual environment.
