“In what looks to be a first for the technology, designer and engineer Todd Blatt took 30 pictures of a bust of Marcus Aurelius with Google Glass and created a downloadable 3D model that you can grab and print. It’s fascinating that, in a few minutes, he was able to render a physical object digitally and then reprint it. These methods aren’t foolproof, but they’re very nearly so. What does this mean for the future? Well, almost anything can be copied now, from a car to a tourist’s trinket. It also means that nothing is ‘safe’ anymore – all it takes for IP theft of object designs to happen is a few winks with a good enough camera.”
