Reallocate founder Dr Mike North. The club foot brace he designed can be made for less than $10
picked up by Fast Company and Wired magazines, and Reallocate has put a call out for UAV pilots on DIYDrones.
Now you can help Reallocate do good by contributing to their Indiegogo project. Rewards for different funding levels include a miniature 3d statue of yourself, and if you donate enough, they will fly it to your camp in a hexacopter.
The Experience
Imagine that you are in Black Rock desert close to Center Camp. You step into a brightly decorated space surrounded by ancient statues. You are ushered into a shipping container that has been converted into a high-tech innovation lab. You and your fashionable friend strike a pose which is captured with 3D software and converted into a 3D model. You are given a GPS transponder and specific instructions for your mission. On the way out you catch a lecture on “Scientific Exploration” and watch some aerial 3D footage of flying over Burning Man projected in a 3D imax dome.
After you leave, your image scan is 3D printed into a miniature statue and loaded into a capsule on a multi-copter. The copter navigates to your GPS location.
When your GPS transponder goes off, you look up as the multi-copter hovers above you. It gently lowers a padded capsule with your statue of you inside. You unwrap a 3D medallion of yourself.
Your only responsibility is to return the transponder and tell us your story for our documentary.
Reallocate is located as part of camp IDEATE at 6:30 and Rod’s Road. Come and check out the amazing stuff they’re doing, and please give whatever you can spare to help this vision become a reality.
