Here is a another good example of how Microsoft’s Kinect can be used to bring interactivity into the digital space. This video features the game PONK which combines touchless and tangible gameplay.

25. February 2012
When you’re a building company tearing down half a town, you’re never always a going to be a popular company, no matter how great the end result promises to be.

23. February 2012
For the past Valentine’s day, Coca-Cola has installed special vending machines inside of the most crowded shopping malls in Istanbul.

23. February 2012

20. February 2012
A 4D Art Park you ask? Yeah, I wasn’t sure what the hell that meant either… Then I watched this video (only full screen HD does it justice) and now I’m sold on going there to experience it for myself! Live Park is completely unique, an entire theme park, dedicated to a 4D art experience [...]
Continue reading...LED Snowboarding Short Film
20. February 2012
I’m wondering if Burton will start bringing out LED laced clothing after this video? Shot by Jacob Sutton, this short film of a glowing man wearing an entire LED suit is pretty cool, probably a tad crazy, but awesome all the same. I can’t see why we won’t be seeing guys night riding with slightly [...]

20. February 2012
The successful launch of a video game now relies on epic advertising campaign more so than ever, remember the ads for Modern Warfare 3 (20 odd millions views) and Black Opps?

19. February 2012
One of the biggest challenges that agencies face is making “more” money… At the end of the day, most agencies sell head hours, head hours of awesomely talented people, and almost all of the world’s biggest and best agencies/networks are built purely around hours, and to me, that’s got to change, because it will not [...]
