Technology porn from Microsoft
In the latest in their series of Future Vision videos (see the one from 2009 here and the whole channel here) Microsoft again provide their take on how technology will progress and help us in day-to-day tasks in the coming years. If one thing is clear in these videos, it’s that there will be a [...]
Continue reading...Projection Mapping with a difference – water explosions
28. October 2011
I highly recommend following the W+K blog, Welcome to Optimism, to anyone that doesn’t already because they include some treats on there. Like this incredible video. Projecting mapping, only owning to the sheer volume of projects I’ve seen over the last 18 months, has become a little stale. However, innovation like this, where images are [...]

11. October 2011
Two things that are being increasingly exploited on YouTube for entertainment and advertising purposes are annotations and using the number keys to jump to certain points in the video. The former has possibly been best showcased in the Time To Spy videos from McDonald’s, but also to a less impressive degree (but still very innovative at [...]

27. September 2011
Face Substitution from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo. Well, I’m officially freaked out! Using programs and plug-ins on opensource platform Openframeworks, Kyle McDonald (in the above video), Arturo Castro and Kevin Atkinson (source) have developed a way of layering faces from images, onto your face on the feed of a webcam. This delivers some surprisingly well meshed “masks” and [...]

11. August 2011
Reddit is a wonderful community. It can make you laugh, cry or both. And with its huge range of interest communities and a open platform, collaboration and inspiration can combine so that little projects like this emerge too. With some website development and chopping up of audio, you can now have Old Spice Guy (Isaiah [...]

3. August 2011
Sometimes I feel I should just call this blog “Here’s some more stuff that W+K have done” at the rate that I want to include their work. This time they introduced Human Twitter, where tweets to the hashtag #humantwitter could be spelled out by some willing participants, at this year’s X-Games. And who did they [...]

27. July 2011
OK Go are probably better known for their crazy viral videos rather than their musical talents. However, there is no denying they have carved out a niche for themselves which has meant YouTubers now lap up anything coming out from the band. Now they’ve hooked up with Google and choreographers Pilobolus for a HTML5 Chrome experiment, [...]

22. June 2011
This is unquestionably one of the best uses I’ve seen of mobile. It has also rightly won top prize at Cannes in the Media category, the first time for a South Korean campaign. Tesco’s South Korean brand, Homeplus, used billboards and posters featuring a huge range of products to bring the store to consumers in places [...]

20. June 2011
Well, this is cool! Digital is sooooo mainstream these days and seeing a large digital screen in a shop window is nothing new. However, I bet you haven’t seen 420 Chuck All Stars rotating through 180 degrees to simulate digital pixels before!? Chucks are an old-school kinda trainer, so it’s very fitting that this installation [...]

3. June 2011
I saw this post on the W+K blog early this morning and since then it’s been all over the internet and back, so I feel this post already outdated. However, it doesn’t stop what it’s about being great. Kaiser Chiefs and Wieden + Kennedy London have come up with an inventive way to promote [...]
