The Kinect has proven itself to be useful not only as a controller in games, but it can be used in other, more creative ways like helping the blind to navigate.

This time, the Kinect is used to print out a miniature sized replica of people. Run as a souvenir shop, the consumer would stand in the right position and a 3D printer will print out a small statue using images from 3 different Kinects. Sure the quality isn’t as good as a handmade one could be, but this is a leap towards a new form of art. Video after the break.
