Saturday and Sunday I amd Alan Contino will demonstrate a magnetic system for capturing a performance as animation, live before your very eyes. If you're lucky, we may pick you out of the audience to wear the magnets. Our exhibit will contain two bonus features: see yourself on a 3D TV, and a character will lip sync to you as you speak into a microphone!

MakerFaire is like a huge science fair for garage technologists and do-it-yourselfers! There are exhibits both inside and outside Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. Penguicon will be giving out ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. There are model quadcopters, 3D printers, cyborg sensing implants, illusions, robot musical bands, laser shows, this wild contraption, this insanity, and much more! Even a statue of Red Green made out of duct-tape, and a go-kart shaped like a Twinkie that fires baked goods. Check it out!
