"The Janus Machine" Interactive Installation By Kyle McDonald, Zachary Lieberman, Theodore Watson, Daito Manabe. [2011] . “While sitting at the chair in front of the scanner you are bathed in structured light, allowing the shape of your profile to be digitized and archived. This portrait, an attempt to capture your likeness in three dimensions, is compared to a library of other portraits captured in the same manner. From these comparisons emerges an outline of the captured form: a playful perspective on your relationship to others, built from light, inviting you to explore further.” . https://vimeo.com/16197436 (u need to log in on vimeo to watch it 😬 !! ) . This was made just before the released of Kinect. Faces were scanned in 3D with a witchcraft technique called "structure light". A video projector would project lines patterns on the visitors faces, a camera would analize the patterns and extrapolate the 3d points.

One of the early video projection mapping companies (Obscura Digital in SF) used structured light to create a map of a space and the content was then remapped using that template. The structured light mapping process was often more interesting than the final content. This was early 2000’s before they moved over to Touch Designer and real-time mapping was not yet a practical option.
