Microsoft created the Kinect to great reviews, and as more gamers experience the technology, new uses for it arise every day. Three dimensional printers (3D printers) need a modeler, and "Fabricate Yourself" shows how your Kinect can fulfill this for you. A YouTube video lays out exactly how this is possible, and gives another use for the versatile gaming unit…as if it needed one.
Essentially, 3D pictures can be taken of just about anything, as the video shows. Excited Kinect-goers are captured with the 3D sensors, converted to fit the three dimensional format of 3D printer, and sent to the machine. In moment, you have a 3D print of your favorite moment of victory...
Notice the screen of the 3D imager in the video? There was a contraption long ago, available in novelty shops that exhibited the same effect by pushing thousands of tiny pins into the mold of whatever you placed against it. My, how things have changed.
Maybe you can give these snapshots away as mementos to the distraught second-place finishers in your wake? Be beware: as you are delivering your victorious “Rocky”-like pose, remember that there’s always another battle to be won, and you could just a quickly be receiving a memento of your own…
