Fabricate Yourself comes to the Kinect

After what those boys at Microsoft Research showed us yesterday, you would think that we would have enough Kinect hacks for this weekend.

As far as I can tell, this is part of some conference or something. It uses a Kinect to get a person’s 3D image, and then a 3D printer puts out the person as a puzzle piece.

You can watch the puzzle pieces being formed into some letters, and you might be wondering what this could be used for. Let’s just say that I think that trading cards have been taken to the next dimension.

That, or another cool Kinect hack to add to the growing collection. Is it just me, or do I think we need to start an entire blog devoted to Kinect hacks?
