Radiohead trades in cameras for lasers

The band Radiohead just released their latest video called "House of Cards" from their album In Rainbows. The video was made with real time 3D recording that were done with structured light and 64 Lidar laser-enhanced scanners to model lead singer Thom Yorke instead of cameras. You can see the video here or you can see an interactive version of the data at Goggle's code.google.com. The band is encouraging fans to use the 3D data of Yorke's head to make their own videos using the point cloud data and Processing. I haven't seen submissions yet but it certainly puts a different spin on user generated content.
