Create Pottery, Minority Report Style

[Guest]

You don't get to touch your creation until it's complete, but at least you also stay clean.

Pretty cool. If I had extra money, I'd do it. Currently plan to build a DIY CNC during Summer.

Will it ever replace traditional pottery? No.

Digital art is great, don't get me wrong. Photoshop is amazing. But to many people, there's no way you can ever replace something that you actually use your hands to do, especially when it comes to art. Using a tablet just doesn't feel like using a pencil, or paint, or whatever.

Using this is never really going to feel like pottery. You'll be getting the results, but not the feel.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier using CAD program or something?

Does anybody else think the guy doing the demonstration looks exactly like john leguizamo?

There's no feedback; nothing tangible. It's one thing to move your hands around and watch a picture change, it's another to build the pottery as you go along.

Wow, they can turn this system for some other functions, Minority-Report style!

 

[donaldduck]

Yeah, lasers are cool.... But.... I still prefer to handle Demi Moore for pottery making

I thought the demo guy looked like him too.

lol. Who would have known there would be such a vehement pottery contingent on Toms

Exactly, it's the same reason the Wii sucks. Without feedback you'd normally get from an object or force resisting your input, then it's rather vapid.

When it comes down to it, you'd have a much easier time constructing this in 3D or CAD program. Not to mention the poly count on that seems a bit low. NURBS would make more sense for an organic shape like that.
