Let’s make a Dream Machine

So I've been excited by 3D printing for a while. Obviously (nerd). But reading Makers has reminded of an idea we had last year. It came together between Asi, Lea and Oli and me. And even Matt has got involved.

And I reckon the best way to get it made is to start by publishing it. So here’s the idea:

 

The Dream Machine

We pull a feed of people’s dreams from Twitter. We then grab/generate 3D images of the objects they describe. We then 3D-print the objects in the machine.

“I definitely dreamt last night that my grandmother got three cats - a black one with tusks, a blue one, and a rainbow one.”

(taken from Twitter when writing this)

The Dream Machine would have a screen with the auto-generated images on them. You just click your button and it’ll print your object.

It’s a vending machine. Maybe on Oxford street. Maybe in the Tate. Wherever.

Let’s make it. Anyone know where to start?
