Smart little hack from Stink. The dashboard reporting site of their activity is actually the nicest part, but it doesn’t really feature in the video. Check it out!
SG NextTrain - Interface prototype
Lovely piece of interaction design. Sweat the little stuff. It will make you great!
ZeroN - Levitated interactive element
ZeroN is a physical and digital interaction element that floats and moves in space by computer-controlled magnetic levitation, from MIT-research labs.

Twine+Pebble Connected Objects
An astronomically unambitious action to sample the product offering. But whatever, what do I know…
Plinko Poetry
This installation uses Python and Processing to scrape and display alternate scrolling lines of tweets from the New York Times and Fox News. When a user drops a chip, it randomly hits pegs on the way down. The word under each peg that is hit is highlighted, with the untouched pegs automatically darkened. Plinko Poetry uses openFrameworks camera color tracking to determine which pegs have been encountered.
When the chip comes to a stop, the user is left with a trail of blackout poetry which is then live tweeted to @PlinkoPoetry. Nice!
Peugeot - Pintrest Showcase
Great case study for integrating Pintrest with other SM touchpoints, so that all benefit from traffic and engagement.
Vasttraffik - Tram Sightseeing
GPS-enabled interactive tour-guides using the standard Gothenburg tram systems. Quite similar to this also.
Lightplot - Robotic Light Painting
This animation is shot entirely in-camera; the figure having been animated in 3DS Max and then plotted by custom built home-made 3D light painting system.
Really interesting making of article here.
NCDV - Drag Him Away Interactive Billboard
Users can either enter the web address http://www.ncdv.org.uk/stop or scan on the featured QR code to start interacting with the billboard. The participant is able to control the characters by dragging the man away from the woman and onto on that adjacent billboards. Nice use of a multi-screen space.
This is lovely in every way; the visuals, sound design, interactions, and the fact that it’s just a delightful piece of branded comms. No hard sell. No sell at all. Just something nice.
Google Speech Recognition API - Pronunciation Game
Simple and clever idea using Google’s speech recognition API to turn language lessons into a game.
Barcode Band
Pretty self explanatory.
Touche - Conductive Gesture Control
Really exciting stuff coming from Disney Research at the moment. Would love to have a play with this and see what we can get it to do!
HeinekenUSA - Keep it Legendary
This browser tool blocks all information relating to Champions league activity on match days, so those not able to watch live, or that live in different timezones, can watch without having the game spoilt. The block covers most touchpoints, from editorial sites to Twitter and Facebook posts. I’d love one of these for all football matches that allowed me to customize what was and wasn’t blocked!
Great idea exploring the differences between asynchronous and synchronous communication through digital devices. ‘Feel Me’ not only works as an asynchronous texting application, it also tracks live touch between the two devices in realtime, which offers a different type of connection. Great idea.
The concept was submitted as part of a final project at CIID (Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, and Marco now works at IDEO, I hear.
