3D-EYE Wants to 3D Print Famous Pieces of Art for the Blind

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Athens, Greece-based software startup 3D-EYE is developing a product that will scan two-dimensional images and create 3D models that are 3D printer ready. They aim to create 3D prints of two-dimensional artworks, among other imagery, to bring the art-viewing experience to the visually impaired. Uses can also be broadened to the healthcare industry (e.g., ultrasounds) and museums, educational institutes, and many other applications. 3D-EYE's Indiegogo campaign, launched in October, extends through December 16, seeking to fund the company's initial launch.

Well, I wish them the best of luck... But man, they should have used a different piece of art for their demo... The 3D model they generated gave the Mona Lisa a case of "man jaw" that you can see from the thumbnail.
