Two weeks ago I visited the http://www.autodesk.com - Autodesk San Francisco office and had the pleasure of working with the Project Photofly Photo Booth in the http://usa.autodesk.com/company/autodesk-gallery - Autodesk Gallery at One Market in San Francisco. This is the same exhibit shown at the recent http://www.ted.com/ - TED 2011 conference, but now even more cool.

This custom setup generates a 3D textured model of your head using 16 synchronized DSLR cameras mounted around you that take a photo all at once when your face is detected in the right alignment location as recognized by a re-purposed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect - Microsoft Kinect camera. The photos are then sent to the Project Photofly on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_networking - cloud to convert to a 3D textured mesh and when completed it then emails the .ipm file for viewing in Autodesk’s free http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inventor-publisher-mobile/id393147903?mt=8 - Inventor Publisher Mobile for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_(Apple) - iOS devices.

Here I am in in the new http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/photofly/ - Project Photofly Photo Booth in the Autodesk Gallery.

Here you can se the LED screen that lets you know visually when you head is in the right location and uses a Microsoft Kinect camera to check the location of your head and provide feedback where to move your head and to hold still.

Here is a quick video captured by http://labs.autodesk.com/ - Autodesk Labs VP Brian Mathews from my http://www.apple.com/iphone - iPhone showing me testing the Photo Booth. http://bit.ly/igZBeu

If you get to San Francisco you should definitely stop in the http://usa.autodesk.com/company/autodesk-gallery - Autodesk Gallery at One Market . The Autodesk Gallery at One Market is open to the public every Wednesday from 12-5 p.m., with a guided tour at 12:30 p.m.

Cheers,
