Kyle McDonald and Matt Mets' "Blind Self Portrait Machine" is a dream come true for those born without the artistic gene. Sit in front of the device (made from parts from a MakerBot 3D printer), hold a pen, and the device uses a digital camera to track your features and guide your hand to "draw" a portrait!
While the visitor keeps their eyes shut, a moving platform guides a pen in their hand to draw a self-portrait, using computer vision to track their face and generate a line drawing. The result is a machine-aided drawing, a self-portrait you could never draw.
The technical backend details available over at GitHub.

while the concept is a cool idea. just drilling a hole in the board to hold a pen would do the same thing.. it doesnt need you.. now if it allowed for changing colors.. or not drawing the lines that shouldnt be there.. then it would be very cool..
