A collaborative initiative between Vice Magazine and Intel, The Creators Project brings a new way to visualize Facebook profiles by turning them into 3D social media artwork.
Gathering personal information from the individual's profile page, the application lets users customize their own layout and appearance using artwork from three different artists. Once the amazing and completely custom visual has been completed, the user can then print it out on a 3D printer to create a tangible model of their entire online social life.
3D printing is starting to become more prominent, with the printers becoming more accessible than ever, and The Creators Project gives users an opportunity to utilize this technology to create personalized 3D social media art using Facebook.
