Bavarian Economics Minister Ilse Aigner looking very happy after Arcam's new machine, Ardroid, created a titanium bust of her. Posing for the android artist, which many say is initiating a new Pointillest trend in sculpture, took merely seconds instead of the hours a model normally sits before a human artist. She has now awarded a grant to Prof. Dr. Marc Stamminger, Department of Computer Graphics of FAU and a representative for Prof. Albert Heuberger, Institute Director of Fraunhofer IIS. The group is focused on the problem of more efficiently processing 3d sensor data within a computer.
