Ryan North's exploding head!

**"I will literally explode" - Ryan North**

Update Feb 11: We blew it up! Full story on Wired: http://www.wired.com/design/2013/02/ryan-north-kickstarted-head-pop/

Ryan's promise to explode after reaching the $500,000 mark on his book's Kickstarter inspired me to reach out to him, and offer the services of Site 3 coLaboratory in order to help him fulfill his goal.

The first step was to make a 3D scan of Ryan using ReconstructMe and a Microsoft Kinect: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/breadpig/to-be-or-not-to-be-that-is-the-adventure/posts/384256

Next, I cleaned up the 3D scan and have now uploaded a mini-bust version that everyone can print out at home. See a video of one being printed: http://youtu.be/zcCjJxf-oew

Finally, we used a large-scale 3D print of just the head portion (plus embedded energy drink bottle) for explodening.
