Draw Your Own Furniture
This idea reminds me of that Picasso video/photo where the little Spanish master is drawing a bull's head or a face (I can't remember what it was) in the air with something. Ok, I didn't explain that properly, but those that have seen it will know what I mean!
Update: Here's the picture of Picasso that I was talking about, thanks to Brian.
"The four FRONT members have developed a method to materialize free hand sketches. They make it possible by using a unique method where two advanced techniques are combined. Pen strokes made in the air are recorded with Motion Capture and become 3D digital files; these are then materialized through Rapid Prototyping into real pieces of furniture." Sketch Furniture
I think it would be great to use this technology to create sculpture, rather than the wobbly looking furniture they have made with it. I guess the furniture is a way of commercializing the idea.

wow..
I mean, wow!
etchnology usually doesn't impress me but that's just.. wow.
But I agree, more for sculptures perhaps.

Great stuff!
Is this the photo of Picasso you're referring to? http://faculty.sxu.edu/~rabe/bodhgaya/picasso.jpg
He created this photo using these steps:
- the room was completely dark
- his assistant opened the shutter on the camera
- using some type of pen with a small light at the end, Picasso draws the bull in the air
- the assistant fires one flash of the bulb (exposing the rest of the room and the artist to the film)
- the shutter is closed
Thanks again for the article and the great blog! Keep it up!

That is incredibly cool, to say the least. The furniture itself looks like pieces of art. I love how organic the lines look. That's fantastic. I can't wait to see someone try this method for art, as you suggested.
