Exploded Tattoo
Exploded Tattoo is a collaboration between painter Anna Stump, photographer Ted Meyer, and various models with single-image tattoos. For each model, a 9’x8′ painting was made to correspond to their body art, then the model and painting were staged for the photos. The end result is an original and stunning interpretation.
Lego NXT Pinhole Camera
Love this pinhole camera by Russian maker bshikin; it uses an NXT light sensor to calculate shutter speed, snaps the picture with a servo-operated flap, and tracks remaining film. Complete build notes and LeJOS code at the above link. [Via The NXT Step]
iPhone 4 3D Scanner
Using projected light from four different directions, an app called Trimensional, from Georgia Tech researcher Grant Schindler, will assemble a 3D scan using an iPhone 4’s built-in camera. Once you’ve captured a desirable visage you can optionally memorialize said countenance by outputting a watertight file and sending it to your favorite 3D printer.
