At CSI I have often laughed when I saw which utopian technologies are sometimes used there. They shot the bird with a mobile handheld version of a 3D scanner and so I decided to do a little research on the internet. And what can I say, the laughter stuck in my throat when I discovered that reality has long since caught up with science fiction!

The student of Cambridge University, Qi Pan, hat eine Software geschrieben, welche 3D-Bilder mit einer handelsübliche Wenig-Pixel-Kamera, die praktisch einjeder auf dem Schreibtisch rumliegen hat, erstellt werden können. Das Programm wurde auf den Namen «Pro forma» (Probabilistic Feature-based On-line Rapid Model Acquisition) getauft. ProFORMA scannt Objekte, während sie gedreht werden und dies recht zuverlässig. Hände und andere unruhige Bildelemente werden automatisch entfernt, die Routine erfasst nur Fixpunkte, die sich innerhalb eines starren Rasters bewegen. Sehr beeindruckend!

ProFORMA is not yet fully developed and therefore not yet available. But Qi Pan offers up his website a newsletter to and as soon as a Linux version is available (for Windows there will also be one later), you will be informed. By the way, Wired has already found uses for this, for example you could let your own body take over the main role in Wii games. Or you can connect the camera to a 3D printer and reproduce everything that falls into your hands!

Very, very cool thing. In the following clip you can see ProFORMA in practice and I lost my breath a little ...

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
