We have seen some pretty exciting Kinect hacks since people starting fiddling around with the device and expect to see plenty more when the SDK is released. Some of our favourites include the Echo Lake music video and the amazing Dancing With Invisible Light Kinect artwork.
Now a creative team have taken advantage of the latest 3D technologies around, using Kinect and a 3D printer to create statuettes of people in a campaign ‘Become Your Own Souvenir’.
By hooking up a 3D printer to Kinect, blablabLAB were able to print out a person’s image when they struck a pose for the camera. So now the code-monkeys are the artists.

This hack may look complicated, after all 3D printers are not so easy to come by. But if you would love to give it a go, make sure you check out MakerBot – the affordable open source home 3D printer! We were thinking of creating a chess board; one side Spooners and the other Beebys 
Nice post ... I look forward to reading more and get a more active role in the negotiations here, while also picking up some knowledge.
