Twine+Pebble Connected Objects

An astronomically unambitious action to sample the product offering. But whatever, what do I know…

Barcode Band

Pretty self explanatory. 

R/GA - Getty Images Watermark

Really simple and smart design improvement from R/GA London, to give Getty’s watermark an interactive and useful makeover!

Universe is full of lives - Installation

More facetracker and openframeworks play. Viewer’s movement and expressions are mimicked by an animal’s head which is overlaid on the viewer’s reflection. From the viewer’s perspective the animal image appears directly on top of their own.

Britzpetermann - All eyes on you

Lovely installation. Effect achieved using a high quality projector and semi-matt foil to project the eyes onto the window. The visuals are rendered by WebGL using a shader-sphere effect. Detection is performed by OpenFrameworks and the Kinect.

SAS - Couple Up

Interesting use of QR, Smart phones and direct mail for a 2for1 campaign aimed at the most awesome target audience a brand can have; Affluent young couples that love to travel and both own shiny black iPhones. Suppose the vid wouldn’t have have ‘flowed’ as well if they’d used an HTC desire and a Blackberry Curve…

James George - Alley Posts

Simple and haunting. Filmed in an evening walking the streets of Barcelona with a handheld 3d scanner, and processed in openFrameworks and screenflow.

CNN - Ecosphere Twitter Visualisation

Behind the scenes with Stink’s data-visual study for CNN’s Ecopshere coverage of the COP17 conference. #COP17 to have your say.

Notorious SIRI

SiriProxy is used to intercept the communication with Apple’s servers. Notorious Siri then sends Notorious B.I.G.’s Hypnotize to the device.
Siri’s speech synthesis is synced to the beat using the timestamps obtained from the Echonest API. Easy Peasy.

It’s like Biggie’s back in the room…

Ritornell - Musicbox Business Cards

Lovely business card concept from the experimental music duo Ritornell. Cards were inspired by the project’s live show where Ritornell invited the audience to bring along their private musicboxes. With the aid of a laser cutter, 9 micro compositions were created from circles, triangles and Ritornell’s contact information.

Each individual card can be played back via an specially designed musical box; providing every business card receiver with a personal musical experience.

Pepsi - The sound of football

Using some clever auditory tech Pepsi created an assisted blind football match between a team of ex professionals, and a team of naturally blind football enthusiasts. It’s part of a wider campaign from Pepsi to fund ideas that ‘refresh (hey! that’s a pun isn’t it!!) the world’.

Soak - Dye in Light

Soak is an empty canvas that when touched, its elastic surface stretches and gets suffused with projected vivid colors; mimicking fabric absorbing dye. Poking and rubbing with hands the spandex canvas allows visitors to soak it in virtual dye and create unique patterns. Patterns created are virtually stored so users can have them fabric-printed afterwards.

Created using processing and Kinect.

OpenFrameworks - Touch Vision Interface

Created by Teehan+Lax Labs, Touch Vision Interface is a combination of software and hardware to allow realtime manipulation of content on a remote device via touch interface on a mobile device.

It looks like it may aswel be a simple screen map at first, but when you can manipulate multiple devices at once via line of sight it’s pretty impressive. The translation of touch input coordinates to the captured video feed creates the illusion of being able to directly manipulate a distant surface. Created using opencv-android.

Last Clock - iPad App

The description in the video is bullshit and you can’t use it as a clock, but the visuals are interesting.
