This is like 3 years old but whatever, it’s still a cool example of interactive real-world environments.
Apparently Starburst saw Big Spaceship’s Most Awesomest Thing Ever and said, “How about you guys make something like that for us and brand it Starburst?”
What? who likes fun campaigns? who likes to prank their friends? who likes to smell sexy? Yes, YES, YESSS. count me in. sharable content at its height!
This website concept reinforces the overall message that “You are the technology” by mapping the interface on the human body.
There has been so much talk on the streets about how Flash may soon be obsolete and replaced by HTML5 as more developers jump ship or more like jump on the markup language bandwagon. As a Flash developer myself, I seriously doubt it. Their platform shines when a higher level of interactive control is needed especially for motion. There is a misconception on Flash being a resource hog. With every type of development, it’s up to the developer to write code that is efficient and not use unnecessary resources. Any function written the wrong way will require higher CPU and memory usage regardless of what language it’s developed with.
This site showcases Flash technology at its best. Sites like this is why Flash will never die. You just can’t build this in markup language (i.e. HTML5). It’s just not possible. This is absolutely brilliant development with the Flash IDE.
Whether you’re a UFC fan or not, this site is pretty awesome. A creative way to engage users by letting them join in and predict who will win. You get a little cameo on the site after some Twitter or FB authentication.
First it’s a dollar bill (see Burger King) now it’s head-butting footballs!!! What’s next? Eating an augmented reality taco through your webcam? I’m thinking yes!
Jay Jays Dance Off! Basically an interactive video catalog with moves they stole from @puponic . Oh, plus, it’s in 3D too! What?!?!
You are the website. Webcam your face or upload a headshot and Johannes Leonardo will map his site all up on you! Thanks to TAK for the find.
Forget the iPad, at 18 x 4 feet the Hard Rock Cafe Rock Wall is one of the largest multi-touch interfaces I’ve seen. That combined with their own custom C++ & Flash app to interact with 4K quality images at 60fps, this is just INSANE! Be sure to click “View Movie”.
I wanted to do this in my free time anyway and Heinz goes on and pays some other agency? Maybe next time ;). Regardless, well done and a great concept.
