When festival-goers stop by ReAllocate's "dome" — a structure comprised of several shipping containers — they'll be able to pose for a 3D photo captured by Microsoft's Kinect. Once the picture is taken, they'll be handed a GPS transponder and can get back to enjoying Burning Man festivities. In the meantime, ReAllocate will create a miniaturized 3D model of each person with the help of a Cubify 3D printer. When the figurine is completed, it will placed inside a container, hung from a multicopter, and flown out to its intended recipient. That's where the GPS device comes into play, tracking your location and vibrating when the UAV arrives overhead. Once in position, it will descend and allow the 3D model to be removed.
