We've seen some interesting projects emerge through Kickstarter, but a new campaign from BRS Innovations perhaps steals the show. A group of three individuals with extensive experience in X-ray technology are planning to launch a series of art projects that include images of various everyday items. It's so you can "see a perspective of your favourite items that you cannot see with the naked eye".
Seeking $8,000 CAD to proceed with various products and additional X-ray scans, different tiers offer up postcards, computer wallpapers and entire artbooks of the images. If you've always wanted a picture of a Super NES' innards hanging up on your wall, this may be the company to make that dream a reality.
You can see some samples above and below, including the Kickstarter pitch video. We're amazed at how little tech is in the Nunchuk...

Hm, interesting. I could see graphic designers really eating this up. But it would be hard to get the rights to use it publicly.
The idea is interesting, and I'd be interested in a x-ray poster of an X360, PS3, and WiiU Pro controller next to each other.
@Diz93 It's not public per se. And since it's also non-profit, I think these guys only have to properly credit the creators.
That's really cool! I love the springs in the GameCube controller!
@Yorumi That's not an x-ray, it wouldn't be nearly as cool. And you might also strip the screw.
Already done a couple of years ago. Google and you will find the free (!) images.
@Yorumi It wouldn't look the same. When you take a picture with X-ray, some parts of the filmed thing look transparent in the picture. The effect is surprisingly cool and futuristic, unlike simple picture in black and white. Of course, using X-Ray has it's risks, but in sensible and experienced hands X-Ray can help people create some really beautiful pictures!
So that's why the gamecube shoulder buttons feel so good, just look at the SIZE of those springs!
I really like the Zapper one :3
@PvtOttobot Your avatar is incredible!
I wanna see the power glove. I bet it'd look so bad.
The controller pics look really cool, but with fruit they couldn't possibly be more boring. Who wants a picture of x-ray grapes in their living room...?
@MusicLov3r Thanks, it took me AGES to get the filesize down!
Ah yes, because all the great classical artists earned their fame through crowd funding.
@Chouzetsu The video Games are pretty good, there is much more detail. We were asked to do some food images, and have had good feedback from them as well though, from a different crowd. I especially like the Saxophone!
@kurtasbestos The crowd funding just helps us to get more items to image. We dont already own all of these items, and some are missing! We really want to make as large a collection as possible.
I've seen the innards of all of these due to my repairs but I would love a full set for my shop.
