When is the last time you drew a self-portrait? If you have not tried in a while, a easier way might be coming soon.
Two creative techies, Kyle McDonald and Matt Mets have built a machine which can help you draw your own self portrait. The ideas is that you keep your eyes shut while a a moving platform guides a pen in your hand to draw a self-portrait . A computer provides the “vision” to track your face and generate a line drawing. The result is a machine-aided drawing of a self-portrait.
The device “Blind Self Portrait” was installed for the first time at the NYC Resistor interactive show in May of this year which had a theme of Physical meets Digital.
You can see a video and read more about the device on Vimeo.
