I first read about this months ago in the NYTimes Magazine (at least I think I did). It has been making its way around the web recently and I thought I’d add to the sharing. Swedish design group Front has a process where invisible pen strokes in the air are recorded by Motion Capture and then turned into digital 3D files which then become real through a process called Rapid Prototyping. The video below illustrates the process awesomely, and you should also check out their website, as some of their other work is pretty awesome too.
